Not only was he fired, he's being replaced by someone who doesn't meet the legally stipulated qualifications. Meritocracy!

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I'm sure just by the very act of being Black (or female, etc.) you can now be accused of being "woke", or too DEI, or promoting diversity.
How convenient for the redcaps.
Any black person disabled person or woman promotes diversity by the fact that they are diverse. This is the start or removing any diverse person from employment in a position of prestige or power.
He was fired because he is black, not because he is "woke". Racism is Racism.
Republicanism is racism.
black, looked better in uniform, was vastly more more competent, and frankly... sober and of a sound mind.
he was making the bosses look bad.
That was my initial thought.
But also, he was resisting the coup. You can't have Marshall law with military leaders willing to resist you.
This could well be the point that we (globally) lose the "nobody would be insane enough to allow him to push the button" mindset
‘Martial law’.
Marshall law is when they let that tall whiny guy from How I met Your Mother call the shots.
I thought Marshall Law was when you listen to M&Ms.
