Five former secretaries of Defense have signed a letter protesting the firing by President Trump of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. C. Q. Brown, demanding the Senate refuse to confirm Trump’s nominee to replace Brown and for Congress to investigate the firing of Brown and other senior officers by Trump.
Trump nominated retired Air Force Lieutenant General Dan “Razin” Caine to replace Brown. Caine will need a waiver from Trump on meeting the legal requirements for the chairman.
The five who signed are Trump’s first SecDef, James Mattis, Biden’s AWOL SecDef Lloyd Austin, Obama SecDefs Leon Panetta and Chuck Hagel, and Clinton SecDef William Perry.

It looks like we have a few names that need corruption investigations.
It is great of these folks to let us know who they are.
Obama fired 197 top military commanders, openly admitting that he wanted those who “shared his vision” (aka, a political litmus test). Trump has fired less than a dozen, and the Left loses their minds.
General Caine is clearly an excellent pick.
I love that Trump is in DGAF mode.
He’s got his own mug-shot on the wall at the door to the Oval Office. That explains how he views his present term.
Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Homeland Security, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.
Court martial all of them under Article 88 of the UCMJ!
Oh F them.
Insubordinate unethical traitorous scum.
I think this is an actual military jurisdiction offence.
Prosecute them under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
I believe they can be fined and dropped a rank on their retirement.
Per the unambiguous U.S. Constitution, only POTUS is the Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Military. They can suck an egg.
It is kind of sadly funny. The skewered have reflexive zombies expressing outrage in support. The rot has even affected the duped. It is starting to resemble a snowball rolled downhill. Where it stops nobody knows. Well, exact Mr. Trump. I suspect he knows. Alot.
Revolt? When have they ever been on Trump’s side?
Panetta and Hagel? Give me a break.
these people are infuriating.
Investigate what?
Block a Joint Chiefs Chairman for what?
you would think in the time it took to reach their rank they would know about that odd thing known as
Chain of Command
or maybe even
Commander In Chief
Strip all of them of security clearances and forbid them from entry onto any military facility of any kind.
The POTUS is the CinC. He needs no approvals from the Senate for his military picks. He just needs confirmation of an officer to initial appointment as a general officer.
100%
Mattis was a combat vet several times over.
And looney as they come.
Disappointed me a long time ago. reaffirmed that disappointment.
It’s their chokehold strategy …you’ve got these bozo criminals no good anti-American anti-patriot asses along with the communist corrupt judges and the rats in the DC swamp all trying to drag president Trump’s America first agenda until the midterm elections. This is only the beginning. Be prepared for a constant brakes on/brakes off strategy.

Sounds like another WIN by VSGPDJT.
