Navy officials said Wednesday they are pulling achievement medals from prosecutors who argued the case against a decorated Navy SEAL who was acquitted in the death of a wounded Islamic State captive after President Donald Trump intervened.

Trump tweeted earlier Wednesday that he had directed the secretary of the Navy and the chief of naval operations to "immediately withdraw and rescind" the Navy Achievement Medal from prosecutors who argued the case against Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher, who was acquitted by military jurors earlier this month.

"The Prosecutors who lost the case against SEAL Eddie Gallagher (who I released from solitary confinement so he could fight his case properly), were ridiculously given a Navy Achievement Medal," Trump complained, adding, "I am very happy for Eddie Gallagher and his family!"

Former Pentagon spokesman David Lapan, a retired Marine colonel, said the move represented the "further politicization of our military" and was a "ludicrous" move "in the face of so many more important and pressing personnel issues."

The award itself was the "further politicization".

It’s an example of the Political Correction that needs to occur more frequently among Fed Gov’t Lieyahs.

The Commander who decided to give these metals should also be demoted and
relieved of duty.

I think you have a good point, President Trump cares about people, not so much about appearances.

Let’s hope that Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher gets a good book deal for all of his trouble.

I was in the Army and saw some of the most FUBAR sh*tbags get medals for zero. I bet a treasonous scum like Bergdhal got medals AFTER being “released” from his fellow goat f*ckers.

I retired from the USN in 1996, my last command being COMNAVCOMTELCOM in Washington, DC. There was a policy of ‘awarding’ all USN personnel when they left the command a Navy Achievement Medal. After I retired from the USN, I received a NAM in the mail. I honestly did nothing to earn it.
