Wilson has headed the Air Force since May 2017, making her President Donald Trump’s first Senate-confirmed service secretary.

And the last. She made it a full two years before showing herself the door.

“It has been a privilege to serve alongside our airmen over the past two years, and I am proud of the progress that we have made restoring our nation’s defense,” Wilson said in a statement distributed by the Air Force.

Is the resignation letter another one without thanks to or praise of Trump, a la Mattis? Has anyone seen the entire letter? It would be sweet if another one of “his” military people dissed him a bit.

Hardly. Did you miss the part about how

I am proud of the progress that we have made restoring our nation’s
defense,” Wilson said in a statement distributed by the Air Force. “We
have improved the readiness of the force; we have cut years out of
acquisition schedules and gotten better prices through competition; we
have repealed hundreds of superfluous regulations; and we have
strengthened our ability to deter and dominate in space.”

All call-outs to what Trump has says he’s done.

I like this in spirit, but she actually HAS been a good AF SEC (have personal knowledge of officer-level/Space Command/acquisitions opinions). Point being, she’s touting what the AF has accomplished under her leadership. The fact that Hair Furor says that he’s accomplished it, is just one more of thousands of examples of him stealing/claiming credit for others’ work.

Those are call-outs to what she has done, and Trump is claiming credit for.

Could this also have some relationship to the McSally rape disclosure and there may be something about to come out about AF leadership being even worse than expected in its handling of sexual assault?

“It is not surprising to me that Heather would be sought out by other organizations looking for her strong leadership,”

No, she was the one doing the seeking.

Traitorous ****. I wonder what the UT Board of Governors saw in her: New Mexico State University (just up I-10) was searching for a President a couple of years ago, and Heather didn’t make the cut (if she applied at all).

I doubt it. University presidential searches take months and sometimes years. If she was the lone finalist, it means that they have been considering and talking to her for months.

Rachel’s stopped keeping track. She found she’d need a Jumbotron with the names of all the deserters, ers, retirees, and it wouldn’t fit inside the TV studio.

[/quote]And Wilson, as well as the Air Force statement, pointedly do not extend the credit to Trump or even to his so-called policies.
