"Who’s going to come in behind me? It’s going to be a real ‘yes man.’ And then God help us.” November 9, 2020 5:38 pm RL

%99 Yes man Esper tries to salvage his non-existent reputation…

The people that voluntarily assisted this madman are about to find out how tough the job market is when you have turned yourself into human toxic waste…

Don’t worry about them though- many will likely be getting ’3 hots and a cot’ on the taxpayer dime for quite a while- they won’t go hungry or homeless…

Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper said in an interview published Monday that if his replacement is “a real yes man” then “God help us.”

In an interview last week with the Military Times, the now-former secretary said he decided to pick his fights with President Trump while as the head of the Department of Defense, adding he had no regrets in how he handled himself.

“At the end of the day, it’s as I said — you’ve got to pick your fights,” he told the Military Times on Nov. 4. “I could have a fight over anything, and I could make it a big fight, and I could live with that —why? Who’s going to come in behind me? It’s going to be a real ‘yes man.’ And then God help us.”

When asked if other Defense secretaries have spent as much time attempting to balance the president’s wishes with their potential national security effects, he said, “Probably not. I don’t know, I’ve only worked for a couple.”

Trump announced he had fired Esper over Twitter, two days after President-elect Joe Biden was projected to have won the presidential election. The president named Christopher Miller, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, as acting secretary of Defense “effective immediately.”
