Navy Seal War Crimes

Of course it wasn't a stupid deal. It was exactly what they wanted.

Who is "they"?

There was plenty of doubt to cast even before his admission of placing his finger over the breathing tube.

But then again I know how you guys love to play asshole.

What is "playing asshole?"

 

[UglyCasanova]

The way many on here behave. I highly doubt most insult, curse, act like tough guys in real life like the do behind their keyboards on P&N.

I figured you would know.

Being an asshole just for the sake of being an asshole.

 

[TheVrolok]

Being an asshole just for the sake of being an asshole.

Why would you figure that?

I'm sure if I acted like an asshole to this navy seal he would cut my throat then and there on the spot without a single shred of remorse. My hero.

trump weighs in on it again:

Trump tells Navy not to take away Eddie Gallagher's status as a SEAL

Special Warfare Chief Eddie Gallagher could lose his status as a U.S. Navy SEAL as the service begins a board review process.

this time he's complaining about the navy possibly taking gallagher's trident pin.

the navy should be able to manage their workforce however they see fit with no interference from above.

Trump hates the entire concept of a meritocracy. He knows where he'd be if he lived in one.

Reportedly the navy is going to do it anyway. Even if Trump succeeds in bullying them into it this guy's career is still over since he'll never be assigned to anything more lethal than a desk ever again and even that only until Trump is out of office.

my understanding is that seals don't have to work with anyone they don't want to or can't trust.

even if he retains his rank and position he still may not have anyone willing to work with him so he'd be sidelined anyways.

What Trump wants is a military of partisans and ideologues, just as he wants a judiciary and DoJ of partisans and ideologues. Right out of the authoritarian/Dictator playbook

The ironic thing is that Trump would never make it as a dictator. He lacks the skills; real dictators like Putin or Xi need to outthink and outmaneuver their rivals. Trump's an idiot; he would have been killed off in a week and replaced by some smarter rival.

The only reason Trump is staying in power is because we have a stable system of government that respects the rule of law. And Trump, spends every day undermining that rule of law.

Think of it as a wannabee fascist dictator implementing the theory of the unitary executive. Only Congress or an election can stop him

We can't rally our fellow citizens to make that happen. There's scant hope McConnell will do the right thing so we'll probably have to do it ourselves next November. I shudder to think of the damage Trump could do to this country with a second term.

Lets look at this another way? How does a name change sound -- The Divided States of Trump!!!

 

[VRAMdemon]

The New York Times reports that the Navy plans to proceed with expelling Gallagher from the Navy SEALs, on the theory that a tweet isn't an official order and if he does make it an official order, the Secretary of the Navy and the admiral in charge of the SEALs will resign.

A threat that might carry more weight if Putin's hand puppet actually valued institutional memory and legacy expertise. The next SECNAV and SEALS CinC will probably be buddies of Eric and DonnieJr from their yacht club.

This President thinks he has every right to encourage violations of human rights and to declare on his own what military justice looks like. For purely political purposes.

I wonder how some of our members who are veterans excuse me ex killing machines (trumps words not mine) feel about this. Should those officer in the military be disobeying the commander chiefs directives?

I’m sure many of our conservative members agree that our military should be able to kill POWs up close with a knife with no repercussions. After hearing how this is the right move by Trump and treason by military leaders, I’d like to hear excuses how it’s really all the Dems fault our military will now be fighting dishonorably.

I like how the top brass said a tweet is not a direct order.
