It's goodbye for top military non-white or female

CNN

"In an unprecedented purge of the military’s senior leadership Friday night, President Donald Trump fired the top US general just moments before his defense secretary fired the chief of the US Navy and others.

In announcing the dismissal, Trump called Joint Chiefs Chairman Charles Q. Brown a “fine gentleman” and an “outstanding leader.” Brown is only the second Black man to serve as chairman and was the first Black service chief in US military history when he was confirmed as chief of the Air Force in 2020.

Minutes later, Hegseth released a statement in which he fired Admiral Lisa Franchetti, the chief of the Navy and the first woman to serve on the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

In his 2024 book titled “The War on Warriors: Behind the Betrayal of the Men Who Keep Us Free,” Hegseth called Franchetti a “DEI hire.”

Hegseth also said that Gen. James Slife, the vice chief of the Air Force, had been fired"
