Trump suddenly announced the replacement of the top US military commander on Friday night, starting a major purge of the military high command.

Trump suddenly announced the removal of the highest-ranking military officer in the US military, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Charles Brown, on the Truth Social platform. This four-star general, appointed by Biden, was originally scheduled to serve until 2027, but has become the first target of Trump's military restructuring. He will be replaced by Air Force Major General Dan Kane, whom Trump referred to as a "highly qualified leader suppressed by sleepy Joe Biden," to revive the strength of the US military.

Defense Secretary Pete Hagseth subsequently announced plans to replace Navy Operations Chief Admiral Lisa Franchetti and Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff Lieutenant General James Slife. An informal list obtained by Bloomberg shows that at least 12 senior officers involved in "diversity policies" are facing removal. Brown, as the second African American Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman, faced removal for promoting diversity training in the military.

As early as last year's election, Hegeseth said: "Any general involved in DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) and woke garbage must get out." In a conservative podcast, he bluntly said that he would completely eliminate the "poison of political correctness" left over from the Obama era. The remarks echoed Trump's campaign promise to "make the military great again."

The newly appointed nominee for the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Kane, once led the Air Force Global Strike Command and oversaw the B-21 stealth bomber project. However, his tough style has sparked controversy - in 2023, he was investigated for a recording in which he scolded subordinates as being 'as weak as kindergarteners,' and was ultimately sidelined by the Biden administration for 'operational needs.' Analysts believe that Trump valued his depoliticized image as a practical military man.

With the Pentagon changing the access control system permissions overnight, the most severe shake-up of the top ranks of the US military since the Vietnam War has officially begun. Observers warn that when military decision-making is deeply entangled with partisan struggles, the global strategic deployment of the US military may enter a period of chaos. #行情震荡下的投资策略# #参与动态创作者发帖挑战赢$3,000奖励# #BTC 价格走势分析#
