Biden tapping Gen. Charles Brown for chairman of the Joint Chiefs
2023-05-25
[CBS] President Biden is nominating Gen. Charles "C.Q." Brown Jr.
...fighter pilot and the first African American to serve among the Joint Chiefs since Colin Powell became chairman three decades ago...
to serve as the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the president is expected to announce Thursday in a White House Rose Garden ceremony.

Brown is currently the Air Force chief of staff.

The position is the nation's highest-ranking military officer, and the chairman is the primary military adviser to the president, as well as to the defense secretary and National Security Council.

Brown would replace Gen. Mark Milley, who was appointed by then-President Donald Trump in 2019. The chairman serves at the pleasure of the president for a four-year term. Milley held the job during the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol and the deadly withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.

Politico - Same story.

#5  Could he be worse than Milley?

Perhaps.

I used to get a kick out of the way Star Trek portrayed General Officers as incompetent, time servers or schemers. I thought they really couldn't be that sordid a bunch. But it seems a lot of General Officers are pretty awful.

#4  Gotta get Charlie Brown here up to the proper weight of an administrator. I suggest a steady diet of Red Clam Chowder, Nantucket Crab flavored Potato Chips, and Tres Leches cakes.
