The US armed forces vs.

Donald J. Trump.

No seriously.

Trump’s decision to undo punishment handed down by military justice is causing rancor among top armed forces leaders, especially the elite.

“Military leaders hoping to keep the Secretary of the Navy from quitting lobbied President Donald Trump aboard Air Force One to stop intervening in the case of a Navy SEAL accused of murder, say five current and one former military and defense officials.”

Short version, the soldier did something bad and was penalized. Trump stuck his nose in and ordered the penalty to be undone. The request was done begrudgingly, and Edward Gallagher’s conduct as an elite SEAL was under review and on its way to being stripped from his uniform. Trump threatened to undo any further discipline. And THAT has a lot of people upset.

Anyone want to sound off on this? I know who I would back if this became a true legal battle.

the president has the authority to pardon anyone, for any reason, period,
look at when obanana pardoned black panthers and other murderers, or when clinton pardoned his criminal buddies like marc rich

I’m aware of the law, but as I am trying to point out the military leaders are not kosher with the action and MAY begin to delay the request with formalities, outright belay the order, or quit as a sign of protest.

Or yet take some unprecedented action.

And I know a few sailors in Coronado who would love to be in a locked room with Gallagher for 5 minutes and explain what “dishonor” means to them.

Face has a point. I don't know whether Trump getting involved in this situation is good or bad.

But I also had questions about some of the pardons issued by some other presidents.

I remember looking through Obama's pardons and did not wonder too much about some of the pardons to low level street criminals who might have been represented by public defenders but had questions about pardons given to some major players who had the money to be represented by top legal talent.

Donald's in office for... how long? 1 more year? 5?

Honor, Code (with a capital "C"), and elite merit among the military lasts how long?

Short game vs. long game. I'll take the long.

Commander in chief is pissing off military leaders about honor of the service (Gallagher’s reversal of fortune), incompetence with allies (the Kurds in Syria) and poor decision making that compromises national security (resurrection of ISIS). Money is not going to buy your way out of these conflicts, and course correction may get ugly.

Outside of the Civil War we have never had outright defiance from top military leaders, but in the age of Trump anything is possible.

About Gallagher....

Up until Trump’s tweets Gallagher was certain for jail time, just a matter of how long. Then Trump stepped in. His tweet Influenced the handling of the trial, as no one wanted to piss off the boss. They

Those of you who wore the uniform, ask your JAG friends what they thought of the decision.

They may love Trump personally, but now have to deal with the consequences of more active enlisted may attempt to commit crimes and gamble that the POTUS will pardon them.

I don't follow too much of this crap but for Gallagher he's done enough, now it's time to leave it to the brass IMO not the POTUS. We need the military functioning properly not continually getting the run around from the POTUS.

Just my .01, not enough for .02.

Let the military do what they gotta do, it's shitty business sometimes and there is a code. I want them being able to do their work the way they've always done it.

If these military leaders cannot, in good faith, follow out the orders of their boss, then they should respectfully let their boss know that they cannot follow his orders, and resign, just like Mattis did.

There is no dishonor in respectfully stepping down over a difference of belief. But honorable people don't commit insubordination against their bosses for making decisions that are fully within their authority when they disagree with those decisions.

Trump was elected to be commander in chief, and part of those duties is to direct foreign affairs.

The President can pardon. That's a fact, argument done.

But he should NOT get involved over whether a military member remains a member of a special ops team. If that member has lost the confidence of his superiors and his fellow ops members, we really think he should be going on black ops missions? No. Absolutely not.

Time for the President and his fake bone spurs to butt out.

Pentagon chief fires Navy secretary over SEAL controversy

WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Mark Esper on Sunday fired the Navy’s top official over his handling of a disciplinary case involving a Navy SEAL.
Esper asked for the resignation of Navy Secretary Richard V. Spencer and Spencer submitted it Sunday, said the chief spokesman for the Pentagon, Jonathan Hoffman.

The firing was a dramatic turn in a long-running controversy involving Navy Chief Petty Officer Edward R. Gallagher, whose case has been championed by President Trump.

Esper also directed that Gallagher be allowed to retire at the end of this month, and that a Navy disciplinary board that was scheduled to hear his case starting Dec. 2 be canceled, Hoffman said. At Esper’s direction, Gallagher will be allowed to retire as a SEAL at his current rank, Hoffman said.

3504john, WTF are you spouting off about? Manning served 7 years before the sentence was “commuted” not pardoned. Bergdahl, (Bowie?) was convicted by a military judge and is still serving his sentence.

Google can be your friend.
