Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

If he had integrity, he wouldn't step down.
Anyone that stands up to facists by "getting out of the way" is a piece of shit.
Stay and make them waste time effort and money getting rid of you, but all these shitbags care more about their retirements than their country. And the bars so low that idiots applaud them as heroes for self preservation.
Fuck everyone involved in this shitshow.
For the sake of argument let's say he did that and intentionally slowed things down as much as possible.
Fast forward four years from now. You're a DOJ prosecutor under the new administration looking to level charges against high ranking military officers who gave the green light to some of Trump's war crimes.
How could you tell the Army Chief of Staff did what he could to prevent those crimes? He didn't resign. He didn't publicly denounce the actions or refuse to pass the orders down the chain of command (if he did he would have been canned). He didn't give his story to a journalist or recommend to Congress that Trump be impeached. In the eyes of the law what is the difference between him and the General he relays the President's orders to, or the soldier who carries them out?
Unfortunatly top level military officials in the usa never get persecuted for war crimes and wars of aggression
4 years 😂 oh wow, that's optimistic, 4 years 🤣. It all burns by 2028 unless people pull off a general strike.
No it is the right thing to do not to get involved in a war of agression
This kind of thing is public. If he was fired, then the current Admin could claim he did something else, or obfuscate the matter. This way he can retain some control over the narative without having to deal with the looming cliud of "fired" over his head.
With the sofets and most gentle kids gloves:
Everything you just said is factually incorrect.
The alternative would be a legal proceeding with judges and release of information.
Please stop spreading misinformation and just ask a question if you're not sure.
Literally this is the alternative:

Compared to the "attention" chickening out got, you really think that would be less of a circus for the one person running the Army?
