Most anti-American thing I've ever seen in my life, on its surface.

Fire everyone, replace them, train them properly, pay them more.

Fire everyone. It's damaged beyone repair.

Why is he retiring...did he wake up and discover he has no self respect or is he afraid of a scandal coming out about him?
