Admimiral Alvin Holsey, final day of service 12-Dec-2025. Admiral Holsey is abandoning his command of the Caribbean fleet, as opposed to becoming another prominent American Black scapegoat. One of the few Black four-star admirals in U.S. Navy history, his career spans over 37 years of distinguished service.
As mentioned in my post on Senator Kelly a military member can be held accountable for obeying an unlawful order.
Holsey’s career is marked by his ability to balance operational demands with coalition-building, leaving behind a reputation for integrity and professionalism.
His departure leaves Southern Command without its top commander at a critical moment, raising alarms among national security experts about U.S. operations in the region.
His retirement comes during heightened tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela, with repeated strikes on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. Reports suggest he had voiced concerns about the mission’s scope and legality.
In light of the tragic matters occurring within the confines of the United States, aligned with the global nature of evil, in my mind Admiral Alvin Holsey is an American Hero. Courage need not be mentioned above morality, ever.
Admiral Holsey truly represents the spirit of America. Thank you for your service, sir.
Proof that President Trump is in an indefensible position.
