He didn't have a choice. He was told to resign. He follows orders.

They really can't order him to resign but they can make it the most
attractive option.
Usually, in these situations, the guy actually wants the freedom to
speak freely so he goes. I just hope we don't have to hear the "old
soldier" speech.
I imagine he will be doing the Sunday shows the weekend after he is
separated. Then we will hear what he really thinks.

I think we already know what he "really thinks." The point is that
it was
insubordination, and that can't be tolerated in the command staff.


My bet is we ain't heard nothin' yet.
This guy will write a book and do the talk show circuit, probably
ending up with a show on Fox or CNN.
I expect to see him Sunday if he gets mustered out by then.



Spot on. I was more than willing to give him the benefit of the doubt
and charge off his insubordination to strange circumstances, but the
more I hear about this guy, the more the bozo he seems. He apparently
was involved in the Tillman coverup and in torture cases, too.


He had to explain himself to Congress about the latter previously I
believe.



The more I hear about him the less impressed I am. Good riddance.
