I totally disagree.  I believe Kelly connected his own personal ambitions to Trump.  Kelly gave up his honor by donating it someone like Trump.

Were Kelly naive and/or stupid,,, I would agree with you.

Why would you believe that? 

He is a career military officer who later served as Secretary of Home Security. And people don't apply for the position of Chief of Staff, they are asked.

There is no reason - I know of - to think he had any motive other than serving the country when asked to. (And considering who was president, that was truly "service".)

I'll give him the benefit of any doubt until I have reason not to.

I respect your opinion.  Still, I believe Kelly enabled Trump.  I do not see him as someone who stood up for the country.

For what it is worth,,, I see Al Haig the same way.  Politics over patriotism.
