Pete Hegseth asked U.S. Navy Admiral Alvin Holsey to retire in October after Holsey expressed concerns about the legality of the Trump administration’s boat bombings in the Caribbean, according to a new report.
On Wednesday, the _Wall Street Journal_published a report that cited two unnamed Pentagon officials, who said Hegseth asked the admiral to step down in “a de facto ouster that was the culmination of months of discord between Hegseth and the officer” after Holsey expressed “concerns about the legality of lethal strikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean.”
Shortly after, Hegseth announced that Holsey – the commander of U.S. Southern Command – would be retiring.
No, it was this officer’s greatest joy to be relieved of command by a puny puke who will soon be rung up on charges by the ICC. He spoke truth to power as was his duty and now he is free of the consequences of his commander’s choices. I’m sure he will drink a toast to the incarceration and eventual firing squad awaiting Hegseth and subordinates for war crimes.
Do you write fan fiction?
That’d be great
