The only source I found is a social media post from GEN Bussiere that is posted on Reddit. Still looking for a news outlet to pick up the story.

His social media post is gentlemanly and is what one would expect from a professional who loves this country.

Granted, this could have been in the works, but, I'm betting the Trump-Hegseth Shit Show had something to do with it.
