No doubt the media will paint that narrative.
My first impression of C.Q. Brown had nothing to do with the color of his skin.
My first impression was a forward thinking level headed leader who challenges Airmen and Guardians to assume risk when it is smart to do so.
He is a proven F-16 fighter pilot so he knows and understands what that means.
He also understands that our top 3 pacing challenge priorities are
1st and foremost China
2nd is China
And a close 3rd. China
He published “Accelerate Change or Lose”
I think I may have pulled the trigger a bit early.
If Browns attitude and knowledge of the current state of strategic affairs and his understanding of his sister services equals the clarity in which he sees his own organization, then I have completely misjudged the man.
So, I’ll shelf my opinion until I see his actions.
