Let me guess? He didn’t want to go on a diet?

Was this a wokey-woke being pushed out? The timing makes me question this.

Appointed in Biden administration; you do the math.

Bussiere was also appointed during Biden administration. I doubt if Secretary of War Hegseth is crying about these resignations.

Lots of yapping on this thread about General Fenton. Par for the course.

Good grief, General Fenton was appointed as Deputy Commander, U.S. Pacific Command in 2017. And appointed as the senior military assistant to the Secretary of Defense in 2019.

During President Trump’s first term in office.

It doesn't look like he needs to.

If he retired today, it couldn't have been because of the fat boy speech. Too much lead time for a 4-star retirement.

President Trump received a lot of bad advice during his first term.

So now he can go ‘serve’ on the board of Raytheon or something.

If any General or Admiral is thinking about retirement, they should probably retire now. Any General or Admiral who is a wacky woke wokester should definitely consider retiring “with honor” before he is ordered to retire.

Don’t go away mad, just go away.

Anyone promoted during Obama’s time and Biden’s should be heavily suspect and given the chance to resign. Those were the days when DEI thrived.

I’m thinking there will be quite a list of officers, and hopefully some senior NCOs stepping down. Either voluntarily or involuntarily.

“FWIW, Gen. Fenton was planning on retiring, it was not tied to SecWar’s speech,” Kristina Wong, an adviser to the Defense...

IIRC all flag officers must pass senate approval.

Anti Trump officers were given their walking papers.

You’re right. But they are nominated by the president.
