Wow, Adm. Holsey didn't leave of his own accord, Hegseth pushed him out. What looked like the SOCOM head resigning rather than do war crimes now looks like SecDef canning him to facilitate war crimes.
Congress should have him testify, and would've already if war-crime-sympathetic GOP didn't run it.

Too bad they are uneducated and ill-informed."

Not necessarily, but very few people elsewhere in the federal government are in a position where they could be ordered to shoot at their fellow citizens.
Can't we make the exact same claim (oath to constitution vs. the commander in chief) for many others currently in government, many of whom have sold their soul? Do you believe the oath of these military leaders is inherently more reliable?

Only the military remains outside Trump’s grip. Despite the firing of several top officers—and his threat to fire more—the U.S. armed forces are still led by generals and admirals whose oath is to the Constitution, not the president. But for how long?
