But brown, a former fighter pilot who has hero commands in the middle east and asia and the second black officer to take the position, had come under fire previously after his public support for black lives matter in the wake of the police killing of black man George Floyd, Making Him Fodder for the Administration’s Fight Against “Woke culture” and the push for diversity.

Reporting from Washington, DC, Al Jazeera’s Heidi Zhao Castro said democrats are calling the firing of the Pentagon’s top brass a “massacre”.
“In all, the pentagon is losing six members of its top brass, which is again a break from tradition in a normally non-party us military,” Castro Explained.
Democratic Senator Jack Reed on the Senate Armed Services Committee condemned the firing of brown as a “type of political loyalty test”.
“Or for reasons relating to diversity and gender that have nothing to do with performance, erodes the trust and professionalism that our services require to achieve their missions,” Reed said.
Since coming into office, Trump has pushed through a series of mass firings within the Upper Echelons of Government. Starting next week, the Pentagon Plans to Cut 5,400 Civilian Probationary Workers.
