President Donald Trump made a series of significant personnel changes within the military leadership on Friday night, dismissing several high-ranking officials. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Charles Q. Brown, was fired and replaced by retired Air Force Lt. Gen. John Dan “Razin” Caine, a move that raised eyebrows due to Caine not being a four-star general.
Shortly after, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the firing of Admiral Lisa Franchetti, the chief of the US Navy, and Gen. James Slife, the vice chief of the Air Force. Hegseth also indicated that nominations for the Judge Advocates General positions in the Army, Navy, and Air Force were being sought.
