The David Horowitz Freedom Center led the way in exposing Joint Chiefs Chair Charles.Q. Brown back when he was the Air Force Chief of Staff.
Brown disgraced himself and his uniform during the Black Lives Matter race riots by releasing a video in which he “seemed to barely contain his rage” while ranting “that the ideals of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution ‘that I’ve sworn my adult life to support and defend’ have not always delivered ‘liberty and equality’ to all.”
More disturbingly, he had signed his name to a report proposing quotas to make white male officers a minority.
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.
Biden’s nomination of C.Q. Brown for Joint Chiefs Chair ran into trouble when Sen. Eric Schmitt used our findings to challenge him on his racial 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.”
Charles. Q. Brown got in anyway, but now he’s gone.
Brown has been fired along with other DEI hires Admiral Lisa Franchetti, chief of Naval Operations, as well as other senior figures.
It’s been a long road but DEI is no longer running the military.
