Gallagher was AQUITTED BY A JURY, of murdering an ISIS figher in Iraq, and so they came up with some lame offense about him posing for a picture with the body and putting it on social media.
The man was AQUITTED!
Incidentally, Navy Secretary Spencer was a Captain in the Marines 1976-1981, but then went to work for various Wall Street firms such as Goldman Sachs.
I read his career as being involved in military procurement (i.e., SPENDING TAXPAYER MONEY). Nothing inherently wrong with this--though the area is rife with corruption--but I'm just sayin' he doesn't quite get the same automatic respect from me as one might infer if his position as Secretary of the Navy meant he were a career officer who had worked up through the ranks.
On the other hand, in his 2017 confirmation hearings Spencer took issue with President Trump's policy on transgender people in the military ... used similar language about "Following direct, legal orders" from the CINC.
Top Navy officials threaten to resign if Trump keeps disgraced SEAL Edward Gallagher.

Good, then they won’t have to get fired.
