The U.S. admiral who leads U.S. military forces in Latin America will step down at the end of this year, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced on Thursday, in a surprise move that comes amid escalating tensions with Venezuela.

Alvin Holsey only took over the U.S. military's Southern Command late last year for a position that normally lasts three years. A source told Reuters that there had been tension between him and Hegseth and questions about whether he would be fired in the days leading up to the announcement.

Social media has a rumor he refused orders to do military action against Venezuela

Dude might be wanting to avoid war crimes/crimes against humanity by blowing up more boats but there's also rumors he refused orders concerning invading Venezuela.
