Tee hee, tee hee.

Fired Navy Secretary Richard Spencer’s outburst at President Trump in a Washington Post op-ed published Wednesday, calling the president’s handling of Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher’s case a “shocking and unprecedented intervention in a low-level review” is in and of itself shocking and unprecedented in several ways.
Spencer wrote: “The president has very little understanding of what it means to be in the military, to fight ethically or to be governed by a uniform set of rules and practices.”
In reality, Spencer is the man who bypassed the chain of command by cutting Secretary of Defense Mark Esper out of his scheming and working a backroom deal. Now, after being exposed, Spencer submissively avails himself to an eager mainstream media ready to consume his invective aimed at the president, creating the very chaos he blames on the president.
Spencer aligned himself with the prosecution, adding more weight to the suffocating pressure of a resource-rich bureaucracy bearing down on the defense attorney and his client, Gallagher. Commanders and secretaries with decision-making and appellate authority are meant to be neutral by design, open to evidence, mitigation, and extenuation from both sides of the case.
Those, like Spencer, who lack the requisite experience of leading large numbers of servicemen and women often fall prey to their own emotion-driven predilections. Spencer wanted the Navy to be right, so he followed prosecution guidance in a case that was marred by prosecutorial overreach.
For example:
Navy prosecutor Cmdr. Christopher Czaplak secretly embedded a tracking virus in an image of the scales of justice and the American flag on emails he exchanged with Gallagher’s defense attorneys, affording him an illegal window into the defense strategy.

Tee hee, tee hee.
Bodacious!
Great points by Gen. Tata!
I like Tata’s generally.
Sorry, but I want ISIS to feel demoralized,
The prosecutor, Cmdr. Christopher Czaplak should be Courts Martialed for the crap he pulled. I’ve never heard of something so blatantly illegal.
Absolutely, big time!
I prefer General Tata's view on this as opposed to General McCarffrey's view. McCaffrey's tweets are a hoot to follow, living up to his motto of "often wrong, but never in doubt".
Well yeah. Apparently most freepers would have made a better SecNav than that assclown.
It's call narcissism. These self-important boobs are so used to subordinates catering to them that they begin to believe they are something special; even omnipotent. In reality they are actually impotent once they find out (the hard way) there's always a bigger fish.
Obozo purged all the good officers; now it's time to bring them back or replace them with good officers and purge these boobs out of the military.
Let’s keep this FReepathon moving and wrap it up, Folks!
I try not to be prejudiced, having forebears from all over the globe. But when I read about some bahsturd from an iron curtain nation of some stripe, who wormed his way into our military justice system so he could play Stalin with our people; I wish I had the power. I’d send his kiester back to the gulag in perpetuity! Tracking devices in memos, indeed!
Let’s hope this case settles down soon. It makes me sick to see any type of “Trump vs military” headlines all over creation.
I am having a really hard time with the phrase:
“fight ethically”
ISIS & the MUSLIMS use beheading on civilians & against military members.
Can anyone explain to me how a well trained AMERICAN military man is taught to ‘FIGHT ETHICALLY”????
Are the Rules of Engagement that convoluted???
“Obozo purged all the good officers; now it’s time to bring them back or replace them with good officers and purge these boobs out of the military.”
I’ll come back, if they’ll waive the physical. Heck, I’ve only been retired for 20 years.
Spencer had no business even being considered for the Secretary job considering his lack of military experience - only 5 years as an “aviator” before heading to Wall Street...
“Are the Rules of Engagement that convoluted?”
Rules of engagement are concocted by civilian woketards to hamper the military and get them killed.
