President Donald Trump fired Chair of the Joint Chiefs Gen. C.Q. Brown on Friday night, and said he intends to dismiss the Navy’s top admiral and the Air Force’s second in command — an unprecedented shakeup of the Pentagon’s top brass that will trigger ripple effects throughout the military.

Trump, in a Truth Social post, said he was nominating retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Dan “Razin” Caine to take Brown’s place. Caine is a partner at Shield Capital, a venture capital firm.

Trump also has claimed Caine donned a ‘MAGA’ hat during their 2018 meeting in Iraq, which is against military regulations.

    US media has never been a group that has regularly considered any history other than their own history

    It’s a bit of that “America, Fuck Yeah” attitude where it’s unprecedented in the USA and since only the US is important in our eyes, our media completely ignores history outside of our borders.

    Amerocentrism is a huge problem in the USA.

    You’re right, it’s absolutely the same path.
