Very interesting. Reminds me of the time Trump wanted to meet with enlisted men, no officers. I think in A’stan but I can’t remember the particulars. The below is a very interesting article. Snip:
Top Navy SEAL commander to resign after apparent disagreements with Trump
https://www.businessinsider.com/navy-seal-resigns-disagreements-with-trump-collin-green-2020-2
The officer responsible for US Navy special-operations forces will step down from his position in September, The Intercept reported over the weekend.
Rear Adm. Collin Green’s retirement follows the controversial court-martial of Special Warfare Operator Chief Eddie Gallagher.
President Donald Trump, who supported Gallagher, disagreed with Green’s pursuit of a peer review for Gallagher’s case.
His retirement follows the controversial court-martial of Special Warfare Operator Chief Eddie Gallagher. Green moved to withdraw Gallagher’s Trident pin, which signifies membership in the Navy SEAL community.
Green in November ordered a peer evaluation of Gallagher, who had been demoted and charged with war crimes, including the murder of an ISIS prisoner of war and the shooting of two people in Iraq in 2017. Gallagher was acquitted of those counts but convicted of a lesser charge of posing for a picture with the dead ISIS fighter.
However, President Donald Trump intervened in the Navy’s judicial system to free Gallagher from pretrial detention and to restore his rank after the conviction. Trump said that he was “sticking up for our armed forces” and that “there’s never been a president that’s going to stick up for them, and has, like I have.”
The apparent disagreement between Green and the White House fueled the controversy in the Gallagher case.
“There’s a long tradition in the military,” Timothy Parlatore, Gallagher’s civilian attorney, told Navy Times. “You don’t rebel. You resign.”
The incident led to other resignations by Navy leaders. Navy Secretary Richard Spencer was forced to resign after expressing disagreement with Trump’s actions. According to a New York Times report, Spencer and Green had threatened to resign if Trump intervened on Gallagher’s behalf.
After his ouster in November, Spencer told CBS News that he did not believe Trump “really understands the full definition of a warfighter.”

Yes, see the article I just posted above.
I started listening to him when he was local in Sacramento. I read in some local weekly rag that there was a guy on the radio who was a racist and nazi and conservative. I listened to him for years.
Ouch! That’s gonna leave a mark. Robby Mook is a big liar.
WELL BYE. you SHOULD resign you POS!!}
And I love how both of them looked suspiciously toward the camera.
SB2 is back, pinged you to two new decodes. May want to watch them tomorrow, wouldn’t want to miss the SOTU and the Nancy drama. ha
You truly made me LOL.
Great stories- one and all, that express how one came to the knee of Rush.
I rode with my boss 30 minutes to 2 hours, to work, on/over several construction jobs, and he listened to Rush religiously, which meant that I too listened to Rush religiously. It wasn’t very long before the conversion began to take hold, and I was delivered from my very narrow Democrat dominated upbringing or viewpoint, although I remained in the closet for a long time.
If I didn’t already ADORE! Trump, this rule would make me his permanent fan.
