Anthony Lane

President Donald Trump has begun a major overhaul of the Pentagon's leadership, removing General CQ Brown Jr. as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. This move signals a shift in military priorities, emphasizing combat readiness over diversity initiatives. With Lt. Gen. Dan "Razin" Caine nominated as Brown’s replacement, the administration is poised to restructure U.S. military leadership. The changes have sparked political debate, raising questions about their impact on military morale, recruitment, and global defense strategy.
