resident 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 Milley ran into controversy after he wore 'baggy battle fatigues' in a photo-op as he walked Trump in front of St. John's Church amid a BLM protest.
New York Times reporter Robert Jimison posted to X on Wednesday and said: 'The vote to confirm General Charles Brown as the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff reached the 51 vote threshold. So far, both Sen. Ron Johnson and Sen. J.D. Vance are the only NO votes.'
President Biden said that he could 'think of no one better suited or more qualified to lead our forces'.
CNN reported that this news has followed Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's recommendation to pick General Brown as the military's next top officer, according to a defense official. If confirmed, that would be the first time in US history that both the secretary of defense and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff are African American.
The Joint Chiefs chairman is the highest ranking military officer in the country, who serves as the main military advisor to the US president, secretary of defense and the National Security Council.
Brown will be taking over Army General Mark Milley who has been in the role since 2019. Back in 2020 Milley was in the hot seat as he joined Trump in a walk that quickly turned controversial.
'I should not have been there. My presence in that moment and in that environment creates a perception of the military involved in domestic politics,' said Milley in a video address to National Defense University.
ABC News reported that following this moment, Milley considered resigning but decided to stay...

Sure, Biden can have his own private Wagner group.
“The Joint Chiefs chairman is the highest ranking military officer in the country, who serves as the main military advisor to the US president, secretary of defense and the National Security Council.”
What’s important to note is that the Chairman JCS is a staff puke, they have no command authority. They act as the conduit between combat commands and National Command Authority (President & SECDEF).
The fact is the Chairman JCS is not in the chain of command.
In April 1945, we had four five star generals and 13 four star generals. That’s it. Today we have no five star generals but about 40 four star generals, counting 1 in the Public Health Service.
Guessed right... AGAIN!
Why’s everybody always pickin’ on me.
No, Lucy will pull it from him.
Let me guess what his qualifications are?
Bad.
Oh wow I forgot about him!
Let me make this perfectly clear…..this was an Obama pick not Biden.
Are they referred to as fatigues anymore? I thought that went out 30-35 years ago.
Who the hell would fight for this government? It sold us out. They won't even stop the invasion of our borders. With whom would we go to war, and why? To stop china, who is only marginally more communist and evil than WEF, from invading Taiwan?
I would fight for God, Family, and country in that order. And unfortunately the latter is waging war against the former two.
That's exactly why we need the military draft.
‘accelerate change or lose’
Translation: Accept Marxism or we will destroy you
We need a draft in order to wage war against Americans?
AS more and more Americans see the Military as an anti-American as the FBI—fewer will make it a career (unless your the right minority) The a draft will be put in place—this time, like hero Ukraine—we will draft women too. “You come a long way baby,” as the old song goes. Only way to keep out of Combat is to have a baby—watch the population numbers rise. Next will be drafting Illegal Aliens—that will get us the cannon fodder needed for WW III.
Quota count he’s not the best choice for the job.
has race issues
There’s only one thing I worry about: Charles was confirmed 98 to nothing. That makes me a little bit concerned, right? Ninety-eight — (laughter). I’ve never heard — I’ve never heard that before. You understand what that means: 98 to nothing. So that’s an achievement.
But you have had an incredible career, and this is a capper, and I just want to congratulate you. And it’s an honor to have you in this very fabled office and to have you in the White House. And thank you very much for being here, and congratulations to you and your family on a job well done.
GENERAL BROWN: Thank you, Mr. President. My pleasure.
THE PRESIDENT: Fantastic job. Thank you. Thank you very much. (Applause.)
He has a pugnacious looking face, and he’s not dressed in drag. So far so good. But “Charlie Brown”? Good grief. He’s probably going to run to kick a football and end up flat on his back. Is Mrs. Brown by any chance Lucy? Probably teased about that name K—12.
How do you reduce the number of white, male officers? Cashier them outright on account of their race and their junk? I don’t think he can do that.
