Eric Chewning, the chief of staff to Defense Secretary Mark Esper, is resigning and will be leaving his post at the end of January, the Defense Department announced Monday.

Chewning has been in his role since January 2019, after starting with the Department in October 2017 as the deputy assistant secretary of defense for industrial policy. He now plans on returning to the private sector, according to Pentagon press secretary Alyssa Farah........

Chewning's departure had been expected, and Fox News has learned that it is not related to the current Iranian conflict." .......

>> Did you read the article?

How is relying on the written “news” report of any more value than an opinion of the headline as it relates to current events?

Seen believable reports that this resignation has been in the works for months.
Nothing to do with any recent events.
The guy just wants to make his fortune. And who can blame him?

Earlier today I read an article that said we’re pulling out of Iraq.

Must be true, I read it in an article.

Just adds to the confusion for Iran figuring out how to deal with Trump.

“That letter, in my opinion, has too many beneficial aspects that Trump can use to have been leaked maliciously.”

Not with that stupid whacky crazy sentence saying we’d be leaving under cover of darkness to prevent any belief that we are bringing in MORE troops.

Sounds like a smart person let a dumb person have it, knowing they’d rush it to our domestic enemies.
