It depends on their moral courage. The good ones will stand up but will be replaced with sycophants and enablers. Is what this administration does with all of its warriors.

If he feels that strongly, I would respect him more if he stood up, sounded out and fought the current administration. Resigning only to be replaced by someone who will just go along with the current policies isn't fighting the fight. He would do more for the military by speaking out and getting fired. IMHO they ALL need to grow a pair.

Don't expect it from this current crop of hand-wringers. these are the same guys court-martialing our troops downrange for defending themselves.
