I think this is the guy to tried to countermand Trump’s order to reinstate the Seal he pardoned.

[Londo Molari]

Probably bent about Gallagher.

[blueunicorn6]

Ultimately, it was Tailhook.

See Ya! (An 0bama holdover?)

I think he is bitter because POTUS pardoned Gallagher. The Admiral probably wanted his scalp.

Good Ridance!

[Georgia Girl 2]

I figured his days were numbered. Trying to defy the CIC is never a smart move. Good riddance!

It was just a matter of time. Good riddance.

He ran his mouth too much. Publicity for units like the SEALS is never a good thing.

[Bonemaker]

Excellent...another Obama political flag officer gone.

Swabbie wanted to hang Eddie out to dry for a picture. Trumpster said no way. Swabbie went rogue and thought his britches was bigger. Trumpster directed him to retire because he didn’t follow orders.

Now for the gest of the situation. Everybody has a boss. POTUS is boss of the military. Swabbie was boss of the special operators in the Navy. Sailors under Swabbies command happen to be voters for the electors so hence they are Trumpsters boss. Our founders created a circular firing squad for the benefit of the nation.

Whether Trumpster sent word down, SecNav or SecDef doesn’t matter everybody has a boss and if you don’t like it you can be removed. Founders were smart dudes.

He forgot that he also had a Commander In Chief.

According to the article he is retiring in September. Hardly resigning. If he really wants to prove his point he should quit today and give up the pension. The headline needs to be changed so it is accurate.

[Robert DeLong]

About time. Goodbye, and so long.

Cleaning house, whether you do it yourself, or let a robot whip around the house doing it, is a good thing.

[rigelkentaurus]

Should have been court-martialed: insubordination, failure to follow a direct order. Reduced in rank to Ensign. Dishonorable discharge, pension revoked. That should have been what happened to this guy. Make an example out of him.

[TADSLOS]

Audios, Mo’Fo.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes...

Now, fire that SJW USMA Superintendent for taking a stand against “toxic masculinity”.
