The United States Naval Academy fired the commandant of midshipmen, Capt. Gilbert Clark Jr., on Monday due to a "loss of confidence in his ability to effectively lead" the brigade, being relieved of his position less than half a year into the post.

"In his role as commandant, USN CAPT Gilbert Clark oversaw the day-to-day conduct, military training, and professional development of the service academy's students.

"The naval service maintains the highest standards for leaders and holds them accountable when those standards are not met," the service academy said.

The release did not provide further details of Clark's dismissal. The Navy often uses the "loss of confidence" phrase when dismissing senior leadership.

Clark's dismissal is the latest of several shakeups in the service academy's leadership this year.

In July, Vice. Adm. Yvette M. Davids, the first woman to serve as the superintendent of the school, was nominated to become deputy chief of naval operations for operations, plans, strategy, and warfighting development.

Davids was replaced by Borgschulte, the first USMC officer to serve as the service academy's superintendent."

The malevolent Trumpf junta and USSECDEF Pete "Hic" Kegsbreath, the most underqualified sycophantic dipsomaniac to ever lead the military of any country on the planet, continues to purge officers they deem as disloyal to the war-mongering, white supremacist MAGA agenda. The former second -rate Faux News TV tumor's Senate confirmation was the worst ever, needing VPOTUS JD Vance to cast the deciding vote to break a 50-50 tie. Kegsbreath announced an unlawful investigation of US Senator Mark Kelly (R-AZ) and he has ordered the murders of several alleged drug smugglers in the Caribbean Sea. The US military-industrial complex (MIC) is getting ready to illegally attack resource-rich Venezuela, all funded by the hardworking American taxpayer in a war that will only benefit the oligarchs, White House insiders, the MIC, and, of course, the oil industry.

Worst. USSECDEF. Ever.

My guess for the reason of dismissal by the Trump admin ...

Capt Clark may have told those who report to him that they do not need to follow illegal orders.

Doesn't matter what they say anymore.

It's probably a lie. Has anything Whiskey Pete has said about this been verified by independent sources?

NOTHING this administration says can be believed or trusted unless or until verified by at least two RELIABLE sources.
