Am I being paranoid in wondering if the disappearing of alligator Alcatraz detainees and the bombing of these “drug” boats have anything in common? Where did those detainees go?!
Does anyone wonder if these higher echelon military personnel that leave or do not agree with the current admin will be the commanders in the opposing “antifa” army when the inevitable civil war breaks out?

A public exit interview would be helpful.

This exactly what Trump wants, to lose all the leadership that will question his orders.

When the time comes, provided he fully cooperates, hopefully, he gets the minimum or no sentence.

Smart man. Unfortunately, this pretty much guarantees the mental status of his replacement.

If anything at all is to be learned from this administration, it is a map of all our weaknesses. A list of areas to shore up and protect in the future.
Hmmm… why does T have a hard on for Venezuela re: drugs vs. any number Latin American countries such as Mexico, Columbia, etc.? Oh wait, does Venezuela have one of the biggest oil reserves in the world? Fuck yeah, they do. Mystery solved.

Wonderful, yet another inteligent generally who could serve as a stopgap between Trump & reality just willingly stepped aside to let his role be filled by some mentally-diseased Hegseth/Trump loyalist warmonger.
Don’t just step down… FIGHT this shit, damnit! Make them FIRE you! Yes, I get it that your pensions and shit are in peril.. but is your pension going to be worth shit if Trump declares Martial Law by this time, next year??
While you’re at it, might want to look in the mirror at the color of your skin and ask yourself “am I going to be properly honored and respected by a Hostile Trump Martial Law takeover?”

The fact that he has decided on leaving rather than fighting from his position speaks volumes.

The more you are working for him, the more likely you and your lawyers will need lawyers.

I think there’s a fine line between the odd strike, and now it’s just straight-up murdering people for fun, much like Blackwater did in Iraq.
It’s hilarious that even Trump’s pick for Lt General doesn’t like him. Even though Trump fired a 4* Decorated General because he’s black and chose the lesser qualified white guy instead.

Speak out
Probably refused to kill civilians and was fired.
