What you missed is so damn obvious to the rest of us.
Deal with it.

This timing makes a lot more sense now, doesn’t it?
Adm. Alvin Holsey resigned in October as commander of U.S. Southern Command right after flagging concerns about those U.S. military strikes on “suspected” drug boats in the Caribbean.
He served for 37 years.
