" #AdmiralHolsey expressed concern for civilian casualties. #Hegseth pushed back and reminded the admiral of his sworn duty. #Holsey informed Hegseth that he had no intention of carrying out an illegal order after 40 years of service in the #USNavy." @Joe__Bassey

Sometimes a captain has to leave a morally sinking ship first to show others the way. Respect, Mr. #Holsey.
Admiral #Holsey had raised concerns early in the mission about the attacks on the alleged drug boats, which started in September. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/12/u...
This is Admiral #Holsey. He butted heads with Hegseth so much, it is reported, that finally Pete asked him to leave, and so he did. He looks like he means business. He probably was not willing to put up with penny ante bullshit. My hat's off to him. May he find greener pastures. #honor #integrity
Did Admiral Alvin #Holsey get pushed out of the Navy after 37 years because he hesitated to obey unlawful orders from Pete #Hegseth to kill non-combatants? Americans have the right to know. @jfallows.bsky.social @garrettepps.bsky.social

EIL +++ Der für Lateinamerika zuständige US-Admiral Alvin #Holsey tritt inmitten wachsender Spannungen mit #Venezuela vorzeitig in den Ruhestand orf.at/stories/3414...
Wie drei US-Regierungsvertreter und zwei Insider heute sagten, wurde Holsey von Kriegsminister Pete Hegseth zum Rücktritt gedrängt.

#Admiral Alvin #Holsey, on left, #commander of US Southern Command, refused an illegal order to #murder and chose #retirement instead.
#SEAL Admiral Frank #Bradley, on right, commander of US Special Ops Command, ordered the murder of 2 humans, and will take the #Nuremberg #defense if indicted.
We KNEW there was a real back story to the #Holsey sudden retirement.
Hey #blackfolks, our leaders are making us proud

We knew it. Hegseth ousted Holsey in a "de facto ouster that was the culmination of months of discord between Hegseth and the officer” after Holsey expressed “concerns about the legality of lethal strikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean.”
Let there be justice and reckoning. #Hegseth #Holsey
An #AMERICANHERO ! When the #RULEofLAW is restored, the President in 2029 should award #AdmiralHOLSEY the #PresidentialMEDALofFREEDOM . #ICANTWAIT to hear #HOLSEY testify before #CONGRESS !
Before Bradley, TrumpSeth pushed out 4-star Adm Alvin #Holsey, US Southern Command. Holsey had raised concerns about attacks on the alleged drug boats-- NYT Oct 16 2025. This distinguished officer served his country for 37 years but he is Black & TrumpSeth don't want Black men making decisions.
#Hegseth, the lying talkshow host, throws his commandment under the bus. #DoD
Looking forward to the public testimony from Admiral
#Holsey (offered retirement) and General #McGee (forced retirement). #caribbean
Too slowly -> respects the law?
I commented last time I put this up. Am again. I #admire #AdmiralHolsey. He is doing a hard thing we are asking many people to do. In different roles, not just the #military. We are asking people to take one for the team. #Holsey is #dedicated, #amazingly #courageous #leader shining a #light on it!
" #Holsey is the latest in a series of flag officers to leave their positions since #Hegseth took over the #Pentagon. Some firings have been abrupt, including those of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, C.Q. Brown, who was Black, and the top naval officer, Lisa Franchetti."

"Head of the U.S. Military’s Southern Command Is Stepping Down.
Adm. Alvin #Holsey is leaving less than a year into his tenure, and as the Pentagon escalates attacks against boats in the Caribbean Sea."
😲
A great comment that says it all on @nytimes.com :
Top military leader abruptly resigned after clash with #Trump's deranged Secretary of War. New details emerged Thursday night explaining the sudden resignation of Admiral James #Holsey, commander of U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM). www.alternet.org/hegseth-pent...
I admit. When it came out and I was only 12, I absolutely loved it. My fave song for a month or so. In later years, sure, I recognize its flavors of Grueyre and Fontina. But it always stuck with me given my original introduction to it at 12. Now, yes, new reason to honor it ! #Holsey
Tonight’s #AT40 song of the evening is a surprising selection: Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey. In honor of the sudden resignation of our current Admiral #Holsey for undisclosed but certainly easily supposed reasons in the Caribbean
