Lemme see if I've got this straight: Esper fires Spencer because supposedly Spencer "went

behind his back" to make some "secret deal" with Trump to allow a convicted criminal Navy Seal to quietly retire with his pension and his rank.

So, how would Esper find out about the "secret" deal? I'm sure Spencer was not the source. That leaves Trump. Trump tells Esper that Spencer "went around him". Like a good puppy, Esper understands that this "disloyal" SecNav must be taken down and BOOM! "Another one bites the dust!"

ANYTHING originating with Trump is a lie, people. This whole "secret deal" story is rank bullshit. Spencer failed to obey one of Trump's silly-ass tweets so he had to be destroyed. End of story.

Are they gonna let this bullshit fly? It's time to take a stand.

3. There is no general in our service today that has anything resembling a spine

They are all as gutless as Leningrad Lindsey.

Look at the ones who were acting as "adults in the room" at the white house - boots has that worked out?

6. +1, now I see how Hitler got the regular German army behind him.

7. As much as I think people who stay have no excuses, this is our military. I would rather sane

people stay even if they think Trump is a monster, as long as they can be a layer between him and an illegal use of force (even if it's just to snitch afterwards).

4. They're just trying to fire him before he quits and is able to make a statement by leaving nt
