Well, he could have been a commie Hamas supporting anti-American who somehow had a 37 year military career, rising to the highest ranks in the Navy, but then Trump would have bragged about firing him mid-tour, wouldn't he?

Or maybe Hegseth called him into his office and yelled "Drop and give me twenty!" and he couldn't manage enough push-ups. So that possibility can't be discounted.

But in the absence of contrary evidence I'm going to assume he's an honorable man who took the oath he swore seriously. Unlike his bosses.

What do you base your conclusion on for his resignation ?

What you state was not in the article.

This was in the article:  On X, Holsey said he would retire on December 12, but did not give a reason.

Retire after 37 years of service.  That is a long time.

Careful, you're starting to act like that red dragon guy who just makes up all kinds of stuff.

Not sure how I feel about this. a) good, principles and all. b) one less person in the pentagon principles. c)I know this gets attention, but is there not a way to refuse an order without leaving the post (to be backfilled by a sycophant who will surely carry out the order)?

"It was striking how many times President Trump tried to get the assembled military leaders to break character and laugh when he mocked his predecessors or used his usual political lines. It was also striking how often they resisted before Trump finally threw in the towel."
Maggie Haberman, NYT


"Already, the remarks by the president and his defense secretary are drawing criticism from former military officials. “I couldn’t be prouder of our highest ranking leaders for maintaining an apolitical face under immense pressure,” said retired Army Maj. General Paul D. Eaton. But, he added, “Pete Hegseth spent millions to fly in all of our generals and admirals to rant about facial hair and brag about how many pull-ups he can do, and have Donald Trump sleepwalk through a list of partisan gripes.” "
