Defense Secretary Mark 'Don't Call Me Yesper' Esper On His Way Out

Just days before being canned by President Donald Trump, Secretary of Defense Mark Esper denied serving as the president's yes-man in the Pentagon.

According to Business Insider, Esper told the Military Times he challenges the president more than any other Cabinet-level leader.

President Donald Trump fired Esper Monday, providing no reason.

However, the president has previously purged officials for a perceived lack of loyalty.
