Summary
Donald Trump apparently thinks he can fire his way through ethical leadership in the United States armed forces. He is wrong. Glenn discusses what all military Judge Advocate General's Corps (JAG) officers are taught, and why Trump's attempts to fire his way out of ethical legal military leadership will fail.
