SOMEBODY, with some pull, in the right places, DO SOMETHING about this.

Whose call is this anyway?
I cannot imagine it is ok with the President
to see this creepy cretin rewarded in any way

Whose call is this anyway?

The Pentagon.

It's not Trump's Pentagon, it's still Mattis's. People there will take steps like this just to show their disdain for the President.
