No reason for that...The SecDev did his job correctly when SecNav went around Chain of C0mmand...
In the schitt basement he goes!! Sheesh!!
FNC is reporting that Kenneth Braithwaite has been been appointed as Spencer’s replacement. He is currently ambassador to Norway:

That is exactly the way it reads but most here are ignoring it and claiming that trump ordered the guy fired because he wouldn’t do what Trump wanted.
That isn’t what happened.
Now we will see what Esper does about the Seal
Between this, Giuliani talking about “if I disappear” and the coup attempt in general, we are in the middle of a political war like I’ve never seen in my 7 decades. This is for all the marbles, and I pray it works out for America.
Anyone in the military leadership not loyal to Trump should be living in fear with their futures in question.
Ahhh...David Hackworth remembrance....
Vindman is untouchable for now..give it a few weeks and he’ll be kicked to the street!!
He is a civilian, he is not subject to the UCMU. He cannot be court martialed and reduced in rank.
Flogged.
#WINNING.
Rear Adm Green must be the next to go.
Only 10,000 or so more to go...
An officer of the Armed Forces is not “loyal to Trump”. He is loyal to the Constitutional requirement that the President of the United States is the Commander and Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States.
Loyalty to a man is how the third world military leaders view their responsibility.
Reads like the SECDEF fired the SECNAV for disrespecting the SECDEF, not the POTUS. Trumps should fire the SECDEF and that Admiral Green as well. JMHO
Agree with that. At a mimimum the admiral has to go, too.
Yeah, but that was also part of the secret deal with Trump that the guy was fired for...what about all the rest of it.
Hope it’s true Richard Spencer was an Obongo stooge. Now get the women out of the subs jeez.
if he went to trump to make a covert deal it means he was getting something in return
what was it?
