Has there been any readout on how rank-and-file SEALs feel about the Gallagher case and how they felt about this guy?
I know some of Gallagher’s unit didn’t like him, but I’m not sure if this is a case where most SEALs feel like a politician inserted himself into a military matter (in spite of POTUS’s absolute authority to do so) or if the guy who wanted to run a Kangaroo Court on Gallagher is unpopular with his men.
Well it’s not just he’s POTUS.....He’s their ‘Supreme Commander’ ....The Constitution explicitly assigns the president command of the armed forces. To grant reprieves and pardons is included.
