Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth called Admiral Alvin Holsey on the carpet to address the admiral's refusal to carry out fishing boat attacks in the Caribbean.
Admiral Holsey expressed his concern for civilian casualties. Secretary Hegseth pushed back and reminded the admiral of his sworn duty. Admiral Holsey informed Hegseth that he had no intention of carrying out an illegal order after forty years of service in the U.S. Navy.
In response to the admiral's stance, Hegseth threatened to strip Holsey of his command. The meeting became heated and quickly adjourned.
Less than fifteen minutes later Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth received Admiral Alvin Holsey's letter of resignation.
In recent days, members of Congress have reached out to Admiral Holsey requesting him to testify on events surrounding his resignation.
Admiral Holsey has receipts. Admiral Holsey has agreed to testify.
