OPINION:
Kelly Sadler is right that “Mr. Trump’s first administration was filled with actors openly defying” him (“Trump faces internal sabotage as Iran war exposes disloyalty,” Web, March 19).
It is mind-boggling to me that Alexander Vindman was allowed so close to the president three years into Mr. Trump’s first term, resulting in another bogus impeachment.
Still, I must disagree with Ms. Sadler on one point. She seems to believe that the solution is to remove anyone who disagrees with the president, in effect creating an echo chamber in the White House.
Although Joe Kent’s open letter of resignation was a self-serving move surely meant to sway public opinion, it was, after all, a resignation — not insubordination.
I also think Ms. Sadler is wrong to question Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. Ms. Gabbard’s respectful voice of caution about U.S. intervention in Iran — even if Mr. Trump disagrees with her — is needed, especially now when we seem to have the upper hand in the situation.
After all, like a gambler on a hot streak, we do not quit while ahead.
