imaround, I posted on another thread about the sacking of two high ranking military personnel- one a woman, and one a man of colour.
I speculated that they might be replaced by white males.
And - here you are, at 3.35 telling us of the new appointee!
Just call me CLG - soothsayer.
Yes these sackings deeply shocked me. Racist and sexist, no other way of putting it.
Please forgive a repeat of the details, I think this really is indicative of the spite and tone. And what Trump said at the end of the relatively inexperienced replacement for General Brown takes the biscuit
Trump recalled first meeting Gen Caine in Iraq. "He looked better than any movie actor you could get," Trump told the audience. 😜

US President Donald Trump has fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff CQ Brown, the highest-ranking officer in the country, as part of a major shake-up of top military leadership.
Gen Brown was the second black officer to hold the post, the holder of which advises both the president and the secretary of defence on national security.
US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth had previously said that Gen Brown should be fired because of his "woke" focus on diversity, equity and inclusion programmes in the military.
Later on Friday, Hegseth announced the firings of two additional senior officers: Chief of Naval Operations Adm Lisa Franchetti and Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force Gen Jim Slife.
Adm Franchetti was the first woman to lead the US Navy.
Trump said he would nominate Air Force Lt Gen Dan Caine
Last year, at the Conservative Political Action Conference, Trump recalled first meeting Gen Caine in Iraq. "He looked better than any movie actor you could get," Trump told the audience.
In the same speech, he praised the US military but said it was "woke at the top"
