(81,456 posts)Yes, at the very least he should get his command back.
I thought he should have Modly's job, but I'm told you have to be out of the service, entirely, for three years, before you can accept a government position.

May he now mold away on the trash-bin of history; a lesson to be studied in the War College, forever more, as to how not to do something.
I now hope we do not have to wait until Jan. to hear the happy ending to this story.

(28,945 posts)Psst Modly, for the foreseeable future, stay away from any naval instillation's. You won't like the 'welcome'.
By the way, if you're still wearing your academy ring, take it off. You lost that privilege when you sold your soul to Trump.

SWBTATTReg
(22,166 posts)follow him to the end of days.
His disgusting behavior when our Men and Women, in their navy blues, called out for help and got him instead, who ridiculed them instead.
modly is a pathetic so called leader, who was picked by no less than rump, which figures, who is an even worse stupid and pathetic loser/leader.
I guess that they all run together, thinking that they can open their damn mouths, mouthing off at good decent people. Enough.
Perhaps this is a sign that people are at their breaking points, and are sick and tired of the dumb a&& excuses that this administration continually comes up with.
Perhaps this is a good sign, that the 'Age of Morons' is finally over with.
