Any word on what people in those circles saying about this firing and the rest of the JCS in the other branches?
I know a few folks that work in Army G1 and whatnot. They’re on the 3rd floor in a whole other ring of the Pentagon. This won’t affect them that much. I’ll ask my peoples I know that still work on Joint Staff and a couple that work for the SecDef. On the green suit side, you won’t find many saber rattlers once you reach those levels. Everyone is just biding their time till they go take a command or senior level position. There aren’t any generals who’ll speak out like General Wallace

Was watching this on the news. They were so very intent on making sure they did not state the true reason why he did this. Couching it in a manner of like questioning his choices, but not outright stating he did it because the General is Black. It is just annoying how complicit a lot of the news media is on these issues too, in the manner they handle discussing the issues.

Wasn't Trump firing senior military and intelligence officials left and right during his first term?

Was he? To support your point, I suggest you post up links and a short blurb that supports it.

James Comey (Head of FBI): Dismissal of James Comey - Wikipedia
Michael Flynn (National Security Advisor): Michael Flynn quits over secret contacts with Russia
Mark Esper (Secretary of Defense): https://www.law.gwu.edu/why-did-donald-trump-fire-mark-esper

"Multiple publications have called attention to the record-setting turnover rate in the first year of that term."

In fact, there's a page dedicated to this: List of dismissals and resignations in the first Trump administration - Wikipedia

Almost all of them white and male.

Shut the fukk up.

You know you exposed yourself, right? I stated, I suggest you support your point with easily posted facts. I did not insult you, nor react to you in an emotional manner. You reacted that way to a simple request. Showing how overly emotional you are.

As per the original discussion. Seems he did fire a lot of people, though some of those on his list were also placed there by him. So I would not count them. So really, the only one who was in a position before Trump got into office, was James Comey, who was placed in his position by Obama. Which makes sense, since Trump would want to remove him, since he only wants loyalists around him. Flynn quit, and Esper was removed by him. Both were Trump lackies that he no longer felt a need for or felt he was comprimised and no longer wanted to be associated with him.

So out of the examples you have shown me, only James Comey is somewhat similar to CQ Brown Jr., though he is a White man, he was appointed by a Black man that Trump hates immensely. He hated Obama so much he jumped on the Birther movement. He hated him so greatly, that as soon as Obama became sworn in as the President in Jan 2009, Trump switched from being a member of the Democratic Party to the Republican Party.

Therefor, my position that he fired General CQ Brown Jr, because he is Black, still stands. If you can put up evidence that counters that assertion, then I will review it.

Oh, and last. Learn what you have control over and what you do not. You have no power over me, like I have none over you. So your command for me to "Shut the fukk up." will be ignored. Perhaps if you don't like me requesting you back up your assertions, then you can avoid quoting me. I doubt you will do that, because you have already demonstrated that your control over your emotions are at best tenuous.

Edit: Mixed Up Esper with Comey in my third paragraph. Fixed the problem.

Negged for being a shytbag and a$$hole. There are respectable ways of having a disagreement. We are all grown here.

If you love Trump and his ways, that’s on you. Point is a man was fired because the color of his skin and only that reason. If you can’t see that…

Do you have an arsenal to protect you and yours?
Below is what I heard (should things tip towards martial law, curfews, etc)

rifles, shotguns, long guns in general are only gonna be for home defense. you need something concealable if you’re needing to be outside taking those chances (should martial law be enacted)

Nah, fukk him and fukk your neg. Guy can't be bothered to perform basic research. This is intellectual midgetry. We need reasoned thinkers, not emotional conspiracy theory "pro-black" nut jobs.

That's actually one of the reasons why Trump won. People are sick of polite, passive-aggressive idiots running around pretending to be experts.

Would rather straight shooters with sharp elbows who have a plan and a point-of-view.

Trump (and crew) hires and fires because he believes he can run the country like a management consulting or private equity firm. There is bloat, there are people not doing the job the way it "should be done." There are people who aren't aggressive enough to carry out his vision. There are people who are not loyal to him and his vision. And so on.

Read books like "Barbarians at the Gate" and see Musk when he purchased Twitter. Or actually read the Musk biography (it's not interesting outside of the blueprint he provides for running a company).

This is essentially what they are looking for:

Yet you are the one cursing and angry because I asked you to support your position with links and a short blurb? Do you really not see yourself clearly. Are your actions on this thread obscured from you? Are you so unable to maintain control over your emotions, that you will even expose yourself as a hypocrite by your very own actions?

Would rather someone be correct and reasoned, but rude with sharp elbows.
