Huh, weird. When I heard about those firings (without knowing the demographics of the people involved), I figured Trump was purging the officers who might prioritize their oaths to the Constitution over fealty to his dictatorial regime. It's almost sort of reassuring, in a comprehensively fucked-up way, if it was "just" an act of petty bigotry instead.
(I suppose it's also possible that being willing to betray their oath for Trump could just happen to correlate 100% perfectly with race and gender, but I would be really surprised if that were the case. Surely at least one of the white guys is a genuine patriot, right?)
It’s both.
He replaced Brown with Caine, a man who was quoted as saying, “I will kill for you.” Caine also wore a MAGA hat in uniform, which is against military regulations, showing he puts Trump over his oath.
Some white guys, I assume, are good people. 😉
With a sample size of 6 chosen decidedly not at random this is not THAT difficult a correlation to exist. We can hope that one of them stands up to Trump, but I wouldn't bet on it.
Wait, I was aware of Gen. CQ Brown, who else was fired?
To be fair the Hispanic dude is probably next
The woman, of course.
Heh you're right I had to research her name (she is Adm. Lisa M Franchetti). There were not many articles about her, like Gen. CQ Brown.
Oh the old white guys right?
All 6 of them, yep... /s
I was playing the odds, and lost
Probably the diversity hires. The two guys in green. /s
