Relieved of command.
Good. Proper handling of a firearm most likely wasn't his only shortcoming.
All we got on my destroyer in the '80s was lousy M-14 hand me downs from early Vietnam era with the selector switch's welded to semi.
Couldn't even put them on SAFE?

M-14s like the Ruger Mini-14 patterned after it have the safety right in front of the trigger guard, not as part of the selector switch, which is on the upper right rear of the receiver.
:oops: My bad. I read that as M-4 the first time through.

Looking like a fool in publicity photos may be a new WH mandate after Biden put his hard hat on backwards while showing how in touch he is with blue collar types.
He's got something in his ear. Maybe not protection, but something.
