Where was the DC establishment ‘panic’ when OBAMA fired Gen. Mattis without even calling him?

As has been the case in the Trump era, the Washington “establishment” — politicians, the media, and the commentariat — are in a tizzy over recent personnel changes undertaken by the president, up to and including the two most recent changes. Earlier this month the White House announced that Chief of Staff John Kelly would be leaving early next year. Kelly’s announced departure has now been followed up this week with news that Defense Secretary James Mattis has either been fired or has resigned, though it seems more likely it was the latter, given the lengthy letter he wrote to POTUS.... Of all publications, the soon-to-close Weekly Standard, another #nevertrump organ, reported the firing:
President Barack Obama fired General James Mattis, the head of Central Command, without even calling the general to let him know he was being replaced.
“I am told that General Mattis was traveling and in a meeting when an aide passed him a note telling him that the Pentagon had announced his replacement as head of Central Command. It was news to him — he hadn’t received a phone call or a heads-up from anyone at the Pentagon or the White House,” Thomas E. Ricks reports.
'Official’ Washington calls whatever it doesn’t want or advocate a “crisis.” That’s why this president is so reviled in the nation’s capital; he is not one of them and he doesn’t want to be. And he will do things his way because that’s why we elected him.“I am told that General Mattis was traveling and in a meeting when an aide passed him a note telling him that the Pentagon had announced his replacement as head of Central Command. It was news to him — he hadn’t received a phone call or a heads-up from anyone at the Pentagon or the White House,” Thomas E. Ricks reports.
During January 2013 President Barack Obama fired Gen.l James Mattis, the head of Central Command, without even calling the general to let him know he was being replaced as part of his purging of our military forces. Gen. Mattis was traveling and in a meeting when an aide passed him a note telling him that the Pentagon had announced his replacement as head of Central Command. It was news to him — he hadn’t received a phone call or a heads-up from anyone at the Pentagon or the White House,”
When Obama fired Mattis without even telling him, the media, the Democrats and the Washington establishment thought it was great.
When Mattis announces he will retire in two and a half months and there will be an orderly transition everyone in the media screams about how they are "panicked." Go figure.
During the Obama administration, high ranking military officers were removed from their positions at a rate that is absolutely unprecedented in recent history. Things have gotten so bad that a number of retired generals are publicly speaking out about the 'purge' of the U.S. military that they believe is taking place. Throughout world history, whatever comes next after a military purge is never good. President Trump has partially restored the military General command.
the following is the list of general officers fired by Barack Hussein Obama during his eight year tenure as president.

Funny isn't it, neither the biased lame stream media, the Washington establishment, or the Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA Democrat Left murmured a word regarding this travesty of the destruction of our military. But General Mattis submitting his resignation as Secretary of Defense after two years serving both the president and this country is being questioned...
