refused to put up President Trump and SecDef Pete Hegseth's picture up where it is supposed to be posted by regulation in the chain of command board.
That was stupid but the stupidity doesn't stop there.
She called an 'All Hands' meeting and told everyone that they were just going to sit things out for the next four years, assuming that everyone agreed with her politics.

What was she thinking? Was she stupid enough to think that everyone would keep quiet about the meeting? That nobody would say anything?
My guess is that some young serious minded first hitch Seaman Apprentice went straight to the JAG office and spilled the beans.
Fact is someone talked and it took JAG about ten minutes to build an airtight case on her for insubordination and probably a few other assorted charges.
She seemed to forget who her bosses were and let her stars go to her head. She also seemed to forget that she serves at the pleasure of the president. I guess she discovered that the president wasn't too please with her so she got fired.
Personally I think she should have been busted to ensign, her retirement papers refused and she should have been assigned to a tugboat in the Aleutians as a morale officer and after a couple of years after developing an incurable case of the Aleutian Stare be permitted to retire as an ensign.
To be honest the reason I guessed a Seaman Apprentice is that it would be fitting. Picture down the road listening to a sailor say, "Did I ever tell you about the time I was a Seaman Apprentice and got a Vice Admiral busted?"
I don't know about knocking her down to Ensign. Seems too likely to be overturned on appeal to some court or another. Reduction to Captain O6, would be humiliating enough. Take away her stars, and tens of thousands of dollars per year.
ReplyDeleteI could live with that.
DeleteAnother DEI promotion?
ReplyDeleteMost likely.
DeleteDon't buy it sounds like bull sh-- to me. she was probably fired because she puts the constitution ahead of the orange Authoritarian and of course shes female and if your female it's a dei hire what a joke
ReplyDeleteThe President of the United States is her Commander in Chief. If she wasn't going to obey his orders she should have resigned her commission. Never wore a uniform, have you?
DeleteArticle II, section 2, clause 1 The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States".
