"Senator Jack Reed questioned if Retired Lt. Gen. Dan Caine, Trump's choice for Chairman, would be able to speak truth to power in a political military."
"Critics argue the Trump administration's push for meritocracy in the military actually translates to prioritizing political loyalty over professional competence."
General Charles Brown Jr. was recently fired by Donald Trump alongside other Pentagon leaders, raising questions about the direction of military leadership. Senator Jack Reed has expressed concerns regarding the incoming Chairman, Retired Lt. Gen. Dan Caine, specifically inquiring whether he will be able to maintain his integrity and speak truthfully in a politically charged environment. The Trump administration claims it aims to foster meritocracy within the military, but critics argue that the focus may fall more heavily on political loyalty instead of genuine military qualifications.
