Fmr. Air Force Secretary: ‘There Was No Reason’ for Trump to Fire Military Officers Like CQ Brown

EXCERPT:

KENDALL: "That’s concerning, too. It’s essentially a politicization of the military in a way I’ve never seen. The president has the authority to remove officers and replace them. These were all removed without cause. They didn’t do anything wrong. There wasn’t any question about their judgment. I’ve never seen this before. The administrations change and military professionals provide some continuity in normal course of events, and that’s of value. They have a lot of experience. All of these officers, and I do know them all, I know General Brown the best, are very, very highly capable people. They’ve risen to the top of their profession. They’ve been chosen because of their maturity, their judgment, their capabilities. And there was no reason to remove them, other than, apparently, to put people in that'll be more compliant."
