Completely strange, especially since this guy is not an Obama loyalist. He was appointed by Bush because he is loyal to the United States, not to Zero.
Changing command during the middle of an important deployment is a strange thing to do — why not replace him effective the next day?
Maybe he did something to p*ss Trump off while “negotiating with the inauguration committee” on a “number of issues?”
That was my take. It's seems quite abrupt and sudden.
Thats my point - you don’t change commanders at the height of battle unless they get shot, and that person already knows the plan, everyone else already knows who number two is. And the people above aren’t fully appreciating what’s likely to happen next Friday. It will be the worst day of venom the lefties have ever summoned. THE WORST. Forget Seattle. Forget Occupy. Forget Baltimore.
