I am a veteran. I served the military and lived the values that honor my country for 22 years. I suppose Gen (ret) Kelly valued his military service, but he has decimated his legacy.
The politician Kelly is no longer a man I can honor or respect. Kelly has dishonored his service to our country and betrayed military values and his country. He is fortunate his is not measured by military justice any longer because he would be charged with desertion as he has deserted all that is honorable and true of our military men, women, all creeds and colors and gender identities who fight for our freedoms.
Kelly tells us the Confederate Generals were honorable men, but forgets they were traitors. Then he calls a Congresswoman a liar and it is HE that si telling lies. Then he overlooks Porter's abuse of women! He's a Tweety clones..
is a rogue ex-Marine, no longer upholding military egalitarian, heroic values. Kelly disrespects blacks, women, and has demonstrated in himself all of Tweety's worst traits.
"John Kelly's response to Rob Porter proves he's not the hero"
Americans hoped he would be. For far too long we gave Kelly the benefit of the doubt. But his one-time proponents have now returned to our senses.

Kelly is just another politician now, lying when is serves his needs. He is also a misogynist, allowing a wife beater to work for him and the President.
"Can the White House Chief of Staff, John Kelly, Survive the Testimony of the F.B.I. Director, Christopher Wray?"
By John Cassidy February 14, 2018
"Prior to Wray’s testimony, the White House had repeatedly claimed that the F.B.I.’s security checks into Porter’s background hadn’t been completed before last Tuesday, when the British newspaper the Daily Mail published its initial scoop about the spousal-abuse allegations against Porter. The White House has also insisted that, prior to the Daily Mail story appearing, senior officials, Kelly included, were unaware of the full nature of these allegations.“I can’t get into the content of what was briefed to the White House,” Wray told the Senate Intelligence Committee this week, when he was asked about the matter. “What I can tell you is that the F.B.I. submitted a partial report on the investigation in question in March. And then a completed background investigation in late July. That, soon thereafter, we received request for follow-up inquiry, and we did the follow-up and provided that information in November, and that we administratively closed the file in January.”"
"Did General Kelly tarnish his reputation regarding Rep. Frederica Wilson?"

Two answers, perhaps there is one to explain his perception of the Congresswoman, but there is nothing that gives him any right to criticize her report of Tweety's call. Kelly's perceptions of the Congresswoman were IRRELEVANT. Fact are facts and Kelly tried to distract us from the issue of an insensitive, racist Tweety response to a soldier's wife's feelings!

"Friends of Padre Steve’s World,
I was disappointed but not surprised when I read President Trump’s Chief of Staff, retired Marine Corps General John Kelly turn to false narratives of the American Civil War in an interview Fox New’s Femme Ideologue Laura Ingraham. Kelly described Robert E. Lee as an honorable man and said that the war was caused by a lack of compromise. Kelly’s description of both is mind boggling to me as a historian in 2017 because the narrative that he evoked was that of Jim Crow, the noble south, and Confederate revisionist history that began in the years after the war and became for many people the truth about the war, its causes, and the men who led the Confederate armies in a war that was based on the expansion of slavery and the rejection of decades of compromise in which the Free States continuously surrendered their rights and freedoms to Slave Power."
