We said "no survivors"
He doesn’t want to be part of murder and war crimes
Yay blowing billions in taxpayer money to strong-arm Venezuela out of resources for tech billionaires, who will sell products to us for trillions and not pay any tax. 🤪
I Guess he doesn’t want to MURDER people so TRUMP can change the narrative!
Integrity and honor one's Oath is far more important, than submitting to criminal activity. By retiring, he can continue to serve his Oath and our nation, with his honor intact. Godspeed Sir.
They are killing innocent people, this is not about drug trafficking. Reuters

I'm sure Hegseth was happy to get rid of another black officer. One less DEI hire, right?
Trump found his scapegoat. Shameful.
Congratulations 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🍾🎉🎈
Trump "has said"?? How about Trump FOUND? Nice propoganda
Everything that Trump touches goes bad.
This is a four star superstar Navy Admiral who's served the U.S. military for 37 years and is being forced to retire because he was against blowing up fishing boats and killing innocent people! Pete Hegseth can't shine the Admiral's shoes! Navy Admiral Alvin Holsey is a patriot with integrity. 🫡 to you Admiral!
Because he won't continue with Trumps illegal MURDERING of people in international waters.
Good by thanks for your service but we are not going back to that Biden administration where we can't defend ourselves or care about others leaders feeling 🇺🇸🇺🇸💪
Clean out the crap, AOk w me.
Stepping down doesn’t absolve you of any wrongdoing!
Standing up to unethical and unlawful acts will keep you on the right side of history.
During this time you are either cowards or heroes!
GOOD! Let him go!
He doesn’t want any drama this close to him retiring. He can see years of questioning and hassles so He’s outa here
DEI hire was over his head.
He is retiring!! 37 years of service is amazing. Thank you for your service, Admiral. Be careful what you believe that you are reading and hearing NBC is reporting here. He is just retiring from the US Military Service.
He's right. They will pin it on him, just like how they pinned everything on colin powell.
Doing strikes on innocent fishermen
Won't stop cartels…
Follow orders …
I thank him for his service to our country and his faithful allegiance to the American Constitution over the illegal orders of egotistical idiots!!
Maybe he doesn't fill right, just killing people just riding in boat.
A true Patriot!!
can you just imagine the exchange that low ranking hegseth must of had with this no nonsense admiral…whoa…no wonder he stepping down; dont want to serve under a low ranking goof.
Look it's thirty seven years people. You wouldn't die on the ship at ninety. Maybe he's got some grand kids he wants to kiss. And play baseball with. You Don'T live forever, people.
Everything that TRUMP touches….eventually Dies!
Thank you for your service. You are a man of high moral and conscience
God bless you, Sir.❤
Retiring dirty hands??????
Leaves with international war crimes and survivors of assasination attempt
When you had 3 years of service left and you suddenly retire it's not a good look for the supposedly strongest army forces in the world…
Obvious DEI Hire. Good Riddance. We need Admirals that are on America's Side.
At this point knowing how the psychotic clown is using the military to gain more $ and power for himself; I would like to see every person within the military to leave the service! Then the psycho Putin puppet clown would have the mother of all his tantrums!
Because the money he's been getting for letting the boats pass is dried up so he's quitting
Now I understand why he retired! The DEI Secretary of War was committing war crimes, and my guy said he wasn't going to jail for this drunk!
Obviously Pete is a disgrace I wouldn’t wanna be near him either
Most clutch retirement
He doesn't want to lose his hard-earned reputation following orders of these unqualified interlopers in our government who don't have traditional American values – many of whom will likely be prosecuted soon.
I am confused, the CIA is a covert organization why are they announcing their mission on the news baffles me.
Maximum Respect to the Admiral.
37 years service.
Another DEI hire gone, a good start!
Another DEI hire terminated.
We stand behind you sir. Thank-you for your service.
Trụmp needs to go that's all
We support you!! Thank you for showing the courage to do it, I just hope many more follow. I wish you well.
Rules Of Engagement gives military the right to refuse orders from deranged commanders
Useless. Cant back his president and lounged his way through.
Its been an honor but im useless and dont do conflicts homey
