The Resume

    (June 20, 1958- )
    Born in Winchester, Massachusetts
    Middle name was Alexander
    20th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
    39th Chief of Staff of the Army (2015-18)

Why he might be annoying:

    In the wake of the George Floyd protests, he joined National Guardsmen and various police forces in using tear gas to disperse protestors at Lafayette Square across from the White House (June 1, 2020).
    He then proceeded to walk alongside President Trump out of the White House for a photo op in front of St. John's Church, drawing sharp criticism from former military officers and others. He would refuse to testify before Congress about his involvement.
    He got into a tense back-and-forth with Matt Gaetz during a Congressional testimony over his support for including Critical Race Theory in the West Point curriculum (June 30, 2021).
    After a Taliban attack on the Kabul airport that killed 183 people, including 13 American service members (August 26, 2021), there were widespread calls for him to resign.
    A new book claimed that he made calls to China in the final months of the Trump presidency to assure his Chinese counterpart the U.S. would not attack them without warning, sparking accusations that he had committed treason (September 2021).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He graduated from Princeton University in 1980.
    He later apologized for his role in gassing protestors during a commencement address, saying 'I should not have been there.'
    He and Trump reportedly engaged in a shouting match over military involvement in the George Floyd race protests (Trump reportedly yelled 'You can't fucking talk to me like that!').
    He defended his calls to China in a public statement, calling them ‘routine calls’ to ‘reassure both allies and adversaries’ and 'perfectly within the duties and responsibilities of the chairman.'
    He said in his testimony to Matt Gaetz about his support for Critical Race Theory: 'I want to understand white rage – and I'm white. What is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America?I want to understand white rage – and I'm white. What is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America?'
