For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.

President Donald Trump kicked off his latest evening bloodbath on Friday with the firing of the highest-ranking military officer in the country, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Charles Brown, Jr.

The unprecedented move came as one small part of a shakeup of the Pentagon's top brass. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that the highest-ranking officer in the Navy, Admiral Lisa Franchetti, and the Air Force's second-in-command, Gen. James Slife, would be relieved of their positions.

Trump nominated Brown to the Joint Chiefs in 2020, picking him to serve as Chief of Staff of the Air Force. His nomination made him the first Black leader of a branch of the Armed Forces. President Joe Biden tapped Brown to chair the Joint Chiefs upon the departure of Gen. Mark Milley — who has no shortage of words about the danger Trump's second term poses.
