Secretary of Defense James Mattis’ letter to President Trump made it clear why he would be stepping down from that job in February, and intrepid and totally unbiased newsman Tom Brokaw sounded the alarm with a “Caine Mutiny” reference:

this is a time for all hands to be on deck – whatever their party label – and confront captain queeg, er, president trump
