I think this was a silent protest.<br /><br />I personally think that the Marines have been in a cold war with the White House since Benghazi (when the White House <b>refused</b> to let them assist), and the sacking of GEN Ham and GEN Mattis are part of this war. I also heard that various staff officer level Marines were going unit to unit prior to the election, "educating" the Marines there on what is an is not a lawful order and how to handle people issuing unlawful orders. I think this thing goes very, very deep.Phelpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06270536870200063563noreply@blogger.com
