As a result of bitter disagreements with President Woodrow Wilson regarding America’s national defense strategies, Lindley M. Garrison resigned his position as the United States secretary of war in 1916.

Robert McNamara is for example.

Not since 1916 (correction), according to history. It cracks me up how cons keep saying he retired. He tore Trump a new one in his letter in respectful language dripping with disdain. Are there any more adults in the White House? Oh yeah, Kelly, who has obviously had just about enough too.

You do know that Jefferson Davis had been secretary of War in the
Buchannan administration, do you not? Numerous others as well.
