Admirals are a dime a dozen.

And overpriced at that.

My point is that it is within the prerogative of the commander to decide who is and who is not assigned to a team. I don't think that means he loses his Trident -- just that he's not assigned to a team. Who gets assigned to teams must be within the discretion of the commander.

If we make that within the discretion of the President, then we're going to get Demi Moore in the teams when we get a female President. Gotta take the good with the bad.

Read about this yesterday. Seems like the admiral needs to be relieved.

I don't think that means he loses his Trident -

But if it does, what is your opinion then?

Like I said, this could have come up years ago but it never was until Trump pardoned him. So who was REALLY behind this action?

Lt. Col.s (= Navy Commander) I have known have all told me that GENERALLY the only way you make full bird Col. (Navy Captain) is by being a good political butt-kisser. And they refused to do that.

Had a former Lt. Col. work for me once as a manager and later a Navy Commander (female) - best managers I ever had, bar none. Their BS sensors were off the chart good, and neither put up with a bit of it, and each superbly managed problem employees that reported to them.

Only one other subordinate was as good as them, a Civil Engineer, P.E. with MBA - but he was not as good at managing people as they were.

Saying what I did, my father made Captain in Navy Reserves - and he was NOT a butt-kisser - but excellent at following orders precisely.

A Mustang hounded by that low life reporter that took a commendation medal with a V device into a OMG he needs to be crucified.

Who was that guy? Always wore black and died many years ago. Military used to like it when he called Wash DC generals and admirals “perfumed princesses.” Then he took himself too seriously and became arrogant to all, not just the O-7’s and above.

Admiral Collin Green is a Navy Seal officer with 30 years in service.

He is an outstanding record as an officer and he has led special operations in combat

It is possible he has become politicized under Obama

This review is legit but ill advised.

If it is determined that Green is being vindictive or acting on political motives he should at least be fired because he will have committed misconduct much worse than anything Gallagher was accused of

He wasn't actually a part of a team since he was arrested, was he? So there was no reason to bring up formally removing him from a team because he wasn't with a team.

The issue of saying he can't be with a team anymore wasn't an issue until he was pardoned.

If the admiral made disparaging remarks in front of subordinates, and if they are willing to provide statements, cutting the nuts off the admiral would be a worthwhile exercise. It would get a lot of flag officers’ minds right.

I totally agree. Green needs to go. The CIC is the boss. This is rank insubordination.

Trump just tweeted that the Navy will not be taking Gallaghers trident pin.
