Senator Uses Freedom Center’s Expose of Quotas for White Male Officers to Challenge Joint Chiefs Chair Nominee

Biden's nominee wanted a 43% quota for white male Air Force officers.

In May, Front Page Magazine broke the story that Air Force Chief of Staff Charles Q. Brown Jr., who had been put forward by Biden as the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, had signed off on a 43% quota for white male officers.

As the investigative piece warned Brown’s quotas limit the number of white officers to 67% and cut white men down to 43%.

“The Air Force officer corps is currently 77% white: getting it down to 67%, a reduction of 10%, would require serious effort to purge white officers and bar the doors to any new ones. Reducing the number of white men in the officer corps to a minority, 43%, would cripple the service and wipe out generations of talent: especially when 86% of pilots are white men. What do you do with those 86% of white male pilots?”

The David Horowitz Freedom Center had led the way into investigating military wokeness as part of its Disloyal Military project which has generated two breakthrough pamphlets, “Disloyal: How The Military Brass Is Betraying Our Country” and “How Obama And Biden Destroyed The Greatest Military The World Has Ever Seen”.

Since Brown’s nomination became official, Shillman Journalism Fellow Daniel Greenfield has made a tour of podcasts and radio shows urging Senate members to challenge the nominee on these racist quotas. At the Senate Armed Services Committee confirmation hearing, Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo) challenged Brown by asking him point blank, “Do we have too many white officers in the Air Force?”

When Brown tried to dodge the question while claiming that he just wanted the most qualified officers, Sen. Schmitt cited the August memo that had been uncovered by the Front Page Magazine investigation.

“That answer is not consistent with your August 9th memo,” Sen. Schmitt challenged, “that there should be a reduction of about 9% of the white officers. That’s a reduction of 5,400. 5,400 too many white officers.”

Brown argued that the numbers were fair because they were based on national “demographics”.

“Your story about wanting to be the best pilot in the Air Force regardless of race, that is what the military is supposed to be,” Sen. Schmitt told Brown. “It’s this great meritocracy”.

But the senator from Missouri argued that under Brown, the Air Force had lost its way.

“Somehow, some way we ended up in a place where a general in the Air Force is advocating for racial quotas,” Sen. Schmitt. “And I just think that’s wrong.”

While the Senate Armed Services Committee has voted to move Brown’s nomination forward, it goes to the Senate where members will have the opportunity to take a stand against the proposed racial quotas for officers.

Front Page Magazine will continue investigating and exposing the woke brass of the disloyal military to bring accountability and end DEI, racial quotas and cultural Marxism being imposed on our troops.

Ping.

[EEGator]

Time for whites males to say...good luck.

[rottndog]

The military oath of enlistment and commissioning require the military personnel to swear to protect the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

SCOTUS has ruled that racial quotas are expressly illegal under the Constitution.

The general pushing the quota is violating is oath, and unqualified to hold his position.

[KamperKen]

I took a quick look to confirm my suspicion on the ‘general’; an 80 IQ affirmative-action hire. Russia and China are beyond pleased.

[jeffersondem]

“The general pushing the quota is violating is oath, and unqualified to hold his position.”

You are right.

Any Senator who is unwilling to say the same is not our friend.

[pfflier]

My Air Force, the job was to "Fly, Fight, Win" not "Fly, Waiver and Whine. Brown is a whining POS, the worst I have ever seen in a command position.

I have been following Brown's remarks over the past two years and his interests are exclusively in quotas not quality of the force.

[econjack]

Oh, perfect!. Let's not defend this country with the best, most qualified people we can find. Instead, let's use a system of quotas because you and your family's safety is less important that making sure we have a "balanced" ethnic make up protecting us.

Sorry, Joe, but whose ever pulling your strings is making an idiot out of you.

[PerConPat]

Who cares? It’s peacetime.../s

[HartleyMBaldwin]

He’s a clown, that Charlie Brown.

[Regulator]

So uh…who’s Charlie gonna get to build him and his flyin’ bruthas all the cool jets?

American airframe and engine companies are pretty much blindingly White.

Lot more Asians now then 30 years ago but it’s the same problem…does he really think they’re all gonna work their butts off and then hand them over to the Idi Amin Memorial Squadron?

Maybe he’s planning to outsource it to China or Russia.

Definitely don’t want merit to be part of this process.

The Air Force officer corps is currently 77% white: getting it down to 67%, a reduction of 10%, would require serious effort to purge white officers and bar the doors to any new ones.

Reducing the number of white men in the officer corps to a minority, 43%, would cripple the service and wipe out generations of talent: especially when 86% of pilots are white men. What do you do with those 86% of white male pilots?”

This choice weakens our ability to defend ourselves and to wage war if necessary. When China bought Biden & family they got their money's worth...

[GOPJ]

SCOTUS has ruled that racial quotas are expressly illegal under the Constitution.

Take this to Court one more time... and probably another ten times... Reminds me of a company where one person controlled 51% of a company - the people who owned the other 49% had ZERO power. That's what's happening here... and it needs to be stopped. Here's what we know - China got their money's worth when the bought the Biden's: flying balloons over military installations, weakening our military, opening the borders to Chinese soldiers and now grounding most of our experienced pilots.

[Jet Jaguar]

Well put.

[GOPJ]

Thanks Jet.
