[Van Riper (one “p”) resigned; he wasn’t fired.
His point was that the results of the exercise had already been determined.]
He was asked to resign or be fired for cause, which would have tanked his pension.

Think Taiwan Strait. Should the Chicoms do a massive amphibious assault a trap could be set for them. The assault would only happen after a major air assault when all bets are off. The troop carrying ships would/could be sitting ducks.

He was retired when he took on the role of the commander of the aggressor forces; his pension was already carved in stone.
