McGee probably thought that extrajudicial killings of fishermen and ordering and aircraft carrier into a Cat 5 hurricane were bad ideas. I wonder how many times Hegseth showed up drunk? Hitler fired Generals that weren't "yes men", too.
On the bright side, I don't think they'll be able to fire all of the stand up people. It will have to be men, since they are purging the women in command positions.
