Yes, he was both. He had to know that he gave them two options. The first was to let him resign. The second is the route they took.

Let's coincide that the military is no longer run by good, honorable or even intelligent men and women. I am not saying those people no longer exist in our military, they are not in charge and the system will corrupt them by the time they rise to senior positions of authority.

Smart money said they accept his resignation let him go FOX as a cult hero until he gets lost in the next crisis news cycle. Now, he is never going away. Officers have done and said stupid things over the years, resignation is a way to put it behind and not let it affect the Corps any further. He did violate the UCMJ but is a court martial really warranted?

If Trump is re-elected, I would install a SecDef who ordered a comprehensive plan to reduce all non-Combatant General/Flag Officer Billets and Staffs in each service by 25% effective 1 October 2026. Make it clear the cuts will happen 1 October whether they complete the plan or not. The plan is the DOD’s only opportunity to have input. Starting 1 October 2026, the DOD has one year to convert another 25% of their Flag billet to Colonel/Captain level with reduced Staff. Congress can write the reductions into the NDAA preventing the DOD from shuffling funds and keeping the bloated flag level staffs. The Senate can block all Officer promotions until the plan is complete. A plan similar to this was recommended to the DOD back around 2008. The DOD response was to promote more perfumed princes and princesses.
