[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WSJ got what everyone has suspected:
[b]“Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shocked official Washington in mid-October when he announced that the four-star head of U.S. military operations in the Caribbean was retiring less than a year into his tenure.
But according to two Pentagon officials, Hegseth asked Adm. Alvin Holsey to step down, a de facto ouster that was the culmination of months of discord between Hegseth and the officer. It began days after President Trump’s inauguration in January and intensified months later when Holsey had initial concerns about the legality of lethal strikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean, according to former officials aware of the discussions. 
Not long after, Hegseth announced that Holsey would be retiring.”[/b]

OT for this thread but the Pentagon press corps seems to be doing just fine after being ousted from the building. 🙂[/quote]

This is not from the pentagon press corps. There really is no one covering the the pentagon/DOD.[/quote]
