Such things should have been done 1000-fold back in 2017. Every Obama hire should have been canned, and every Obama fire should have been reinstated. Then maybe a reassessment.

He needs to be doing this more on the civilian side.

Spencer thought he was the big shark in the pond, but found out he’s just more bait.

Military serves at the pleasure of the President.

Collin "Granny" Green is going to find this out, to his chagrin.

I heartily encourage everyone to watch “The Crown”, season 3, episode 5, “Coup”. It is a great picture of the machinations against Harold Wilson, socialist PM in the mid-sixties. The character Lord Mountbatten is incredibly well-done, IMO. Someone did their homework for this script, even if it might be a tad fanciful. Lots of parallels with President Trump.

Yes me too. Maybe Trump is going to let the new guy Braithwaite handle Green. I dont trust Esper either.

Does Spencer get to keep any part of his retirement package, seeing as he was fired? Does the military offer golden parachutes to the brass?

Yes, but Spencer was a Trump appointee back in August, 2017 ... showing once again that , imo, Trump has not been served well by advisors, especially early in this presidency.

Stupid bastard! “A tweet is not an official order”? If your commander conveys an order - by any means, even if it’s written on a f****** napkin - it’s still an order. Another bureaucrat with a terminal case of recto-cranial inversion.

Both Washington and Lincoln had problems in the people around them. It takes time to weed them out.

My theory is that before becoming President, The President was accustomed to hiring people on a whim, knowing that if they didn't deliver, he could give the famous 'You're Fired' line. Now with politics involved, it is not that simple, even if he has the authority and the the right. Jeffie "Do Nothing" Sessions is a perfect example. Count on the dems to try to make hay from this.

What in the world goes on in Washington that makes people who seem smart suddenly act so stupid?

Did Spencer think he could challenge Trump and win? Moreover, why did he even take on Trump to being with?
