One of the things to remember about CQ Brown, he was put in his previous position by Donald Trump.

And that's why he was fired.

I'm not going to say he's a symbol of DEI.

This is maybe surprising.
這或許令人驚訝。
No, we've been seeing this.
不,我們已經看到了。
Secretary Hegseth was talking about how he needed to go.
黑格塞斯部長正在談論他需要如何離開。
But look at what Hegseth is talking about as the Pentagon as a whole.
但是,看看黑格塞斯所說的五角大樓整體。
He is looking to completely restructure the approach that the previous administration had.
他希望徹底改變上屆政府的做法。
That's not why Hegseth said he should be fired.
這不是黑格塞斯說他應該被解僱的原因。
He said he should be fired because he was, in his words, involved in DEI.

CQ Brown, as far as we know, there's been no indication that he's been fired for cause, that he did anything wrong.
CQ Brown,據我們所知,沒有跡象表明他被解僱是有原因的,他做錯了什麼。

Well, I thought you were going to play that other clip in, I think, that same podcast where Pete Hegseth basically questioned CQ's qualifications because he was black.
我還以為你會在播客中播放另一個片段,我想是在同一個播客中,Pete Hegseth基本上質疑CQ的資格,因為他是黑人。
And he said that in that podcast.
他在播客中也是這麼說的。
And this is in the Associated Press story, his remarks saying, I don't know if he's qualified.
這是美聯社的報道,他說,我不知道他是否合格。
Maybe he is, maybe he isn't, because he was black.
也許是,也許不是,因為他是黑人。
So it's hard for anyone to read this other than the fact, as you pointed out, that this is a very directed purge that has nothing to do with philosophy, that has everything to do with the faces of the military.
是以,正如你所指出的,這是一次非常有針對性的大清洗,與哲學無關,而與軍隊的臉面有關。
Which Pete Hegseth has said several times that he doesn't respect women soldiers and he doesn't respect people of color serving in these positions.
Pete Hegseth曾多次表示,他不尊重女兵,也不尊重在這些崗位上服役的有色人種。
And so by putting this out there, if you're in the military and you're a person of color, or even if you're just a person of color in this country, how are you supposed to feel seeing this?
是以,如果你是軍人,你是有色人種,甚至你只是這個國家的有色人種,你看到這個會有什麼感覺?

And he's also now no longer the highest ranking black officer in the military.

We've been hearing a lot of about military readiness.
我們聽到了很多關於軍事準備的消息。
A lot of these men and women who got their jobs lost today have spent their whole life dedicated to defending the flag and defending this country, no matter the color of their skin, just like you said.
就像你說的,今天失去工作的這些人中,有很多人一生都在致力於捍衛國旗、保衛國家,無論他們的膚色如何。
And I think that that's what we have to think about, military readiness, because that's what Republicans have been using to justify some of the DE&I stuff that's been going on within the military and all branches of the government now that Trump's in office.
我認為,這就是我們必須思考的問題,即軍事準備,因為這正是共和黨人一直用來為特朗普上臺後軍隊和政府各部門內發生的一些 "DE&I "行為辯護的理由。
But these are real folks with real experience.
但這些都是有實際經驗的人。
I've worked with groups like VoteVets around the country and worked with folks who I admire every day because of the sacrifices they make for our country.
我曾在全國各地與類似 "VoteVets "這樣的團體合作,每天都與我敬佩的人們共事,因為他們為我們的國家做出了犧牲。
And thinking about these folks that's done this under this auspice and the voter out there and in the focus groups the last election we were in, this is not.
想想這些在我們主持下完成這項工作的人,想想我們參加的上一次選舉中的選民和焦點小組,這不是我們的工作。
Sure, everybody voted for change in some form or fashion, but I don't think this is the change they voted for.
當然,每個人都投票支持某種形式或方式的變革,但我不認為這就是他們投票支持的變革。
And I think there's going to be repercussions for this kind of anxiety now that we're going to have in a tenuous world.
我認為,在這個脆弱的世界上,我們現在的這種焦慮會產生影響。
Before you jump in, I want to ask you about something you raised, too, the JAG situation.
在你插話之前,我也想問一下你提出的問題,即軍法署署長的情況。
Yes.
是的。
These are the military lawyers.
這些是軍事律師。
That's right.
這就對了。
Three of the highest-ranking military lawyers were...
三位最高級別的軍事律師...
They're saying they're accepting nominations.
他們說正在接受提名。
Presumptively, they're being fired.
據推測,他們被解僱了。
This is also Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who, in his confirmation hearing, he was questioned about his use of the term JAG-off, and he suggested that JAGs, rather than enforcing the law, they are trying to get promotions and that they don't have the best interests of rank-and-file soldiers.
這也是國防部長皮特-黑格塞斯(Pete Hegseth),在他的確認聽證會上,他被質疑使用了 "JAG-off "一詞,他暗示軍法署署長們不是在執法,而是在努力獲得晉升,他們並不為普通阿兵哥的最大利益著想。
Well, I deeply disagree with that conclusion.
我不同意這個結論。
We can't forget, also, Pete Hegseth advocated to Trump for pardoning people who were accused of war crimes.
我們也不能忘記,皮特-黑格塞斯曾向特朗普主張赦免那些被指控犯有戰爭罪的人。
Yes, he did.
是的,他做到了。
So put that all together.
所以,把這一切放在一起。
Yes.
是的。
I mean, the fact is he convinced Trump to issue pardons to three officers who were engaged in war crimes, and people witnessed that.
我的意思是,事實是他說服特朗普向三名犯有戰爭罪的軍官頒發了赦免令,人們目睹了這一切。
And when you don't take accountability, that actually diminishes unit cohesion, because when people are treated differently and it looks unfair, then that is a real demoralizing occurrence.
而當你不承擔責任時,這實際上會削弱部隊的凝聚力,因為當人們受到不同的待遇,而這看起來又不公平時,就會真正打擊士氣。
And I would add that when you take out the legal, the top legal officers, you're talking about the White House sees itself as the law and order over the armed forces, but actually you need lawyers at every level of command.
我還想補充一點,當你把法律部門、最高級別的法律官員排除在外時,你說的是白宮將自己視為武裝部隊的法律和秩序,但實際上你需要在每一級指揮部門都有律師。
And I would add that this is a readiness issue, because what's happening now is that the Trump White House is in playing a subtraction game.
我還想補充一點,這是一個準備問題,因為現在的情況是,特朗普白宮正在玩一場減法遊戲。
And we have, the military has not been able to achieve its recruiting goals, and they certainly aren't gonna be able to do that with White men only.
而我們,軍隊一直未能實現其徵兵目標,他們當然也不可能只靠白人男性來實現徵兵目標。
This is a very diverse union, it's a unit, and it's probably the best example of America at its best.
這是一個非常多元化的工會,它是一個組織、部門,它可能是美國最好的典範。
It's really a travesty.
這真是個悲劇。
