He quietly urged other military personnel to reflect on their own positions. “They should be confident in questioning possibly immoral or illegal orders,” he said, “remembering they are responsible for their own actions, and knowing others are asking the same questions.”
“If they have doubts about their orders, they are not alone,”
Jesus fucking Christ you fuckers in here saying “what he quit for” should read the fucking article.
The guy resigned to shine a light on the current administration, but all you can do is say “why he quit tho?”
If he hadn’t have quit you’d be calling him a lackey or stooge, but when he does resign AND uses it to call out tRUMP you still think he’s done the wrong thing!!
For fuck sake, take the win. Point at this guy and his message and use it. Christ.
By quitting he is potentially allowing the administration to fill the position with a trump approved “yes man”. I think he could do more good by keeping his position and defy/resist orders instead. I don’t blame him, though. Getting the hell out of there seems reasonable too!
