Biden pick is CONFIRMED as chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: Gen. Charles Brown - whose motto is 'accelerate change or lose' - replaces Gen. Mark Milley three years after he wore fatigues to walk Trump to church for photo-op amid BLM protest
|
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Joe Biden's pick for the new chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has been confirmed as Air Force General Charles Q. Brown, who will replace General Mark Miley.
General Brown will seize command after reaching the 51 vote threshold needed at a vote on Wednesday. Only Sen. Ron Johnson and Sen. J.D. Vance voted no.
It comes after President Biden in May said he could 'think of no one better suited or more qualified to lead our forces'.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin reportedly also recommended him as the military's next top officer.
It is the first time in US history that both the secretary of defense and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff are African American.
General Brown replaces General Milley, who ran into controversy after he wore battle fatigues in a photo-op as he walked Donald Trump in front of St. John's Church amid a BLM protest in 2020.
The new chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff made headlines back in 2020 when he held the title of the commander of Pacific Air Forces, as he recorded an emotional video right after the police killing of George Floyd.
In full uniform, he got personal and was 'full of emotion' for 'the many African Americans that have suffered the same fate as George Floyd'.
Brown has always been transparent about where he views lie on racism in America and has always tried to keep a balanced and realistic approach to it all.
'I can't fix centuries of racism in our country, nor can I fix decades of discrimination that may have impacted members of our Air Force. I'm thinking about how I can make improvements personally, professionally, and institutionally, so that all Airmen, both today and tomorrow, appreciate the value of diversity and can serve in an environment where they can reach their full potential,' said Brown in a video.
