Fails to support the boss and then cries about it. Of course he is not going to get promoted after that. Nothing guarantees promotion to the next higher grade in the military. I knew a 2LT that did not make 1LT which is considered an automatic promotion.

He is lucky he was allowed to retire and not court-martialed. I hope they investigate him to find out if he provided classified information to the so called whistle blower as that was illegal.

What a wuss.

How’s a guy like this going to lead men in time of war?

Has the entire Officer Corps of our military gone stupid?

Good riddance.

What kind of Colonel is so weak that he gets bullied so easily?

That doesn’t make me rest easier at night

I asked the same question in a post. Glad I am not alone. On this board I am sure I am in the majority

According to media and polls he has a new boss in 5 months. Why does he not believe them?

Straight to comments, nothing about what this self-important blowhard thinks,feels, or says, is important. He can either STFU forever, or pretend to write a book as he chokes on his kale sald, with extra bacon.
