In what will undoubtedly be interpreted by many as an act of defiance against President Trump, the top Navy SEAL, Rear Admiral Collin Green, will notify Navy SEAL Edward Gallagher and three other officers that their case is being sent to a review board which could end in their expulsion from the SEALS.
"This is a review of their suitability to be a SEAL," a Navy Officer said. The action would come less than a week after Mr. Trump intervened in the military justice case against Gallagher by ordering him restored to the rank of Chief Petty Officer, despite his conviction for posing for a photograph with a dead ISIS prisoner.

Rear Admiral Collin Green appears to have his head up his rear.
Bust this sucker.
You are far more correct than you may realize. Early in Obama’s first term he sent a questionnaire out to all officers 0-5 and above. The questionnaire was NOT optional. Not long after the submission deadline The Great Purge began.
This was reported on by alternative media and talk radio but, there was a total blackout of this by the MSM.
I had recently retired after 26.5 years in before Obama was elected and had many good contacts at the time.
The questionnaire was full of references to Patriotism, Loyalty to The Constitution, Women in Combat, Diversity, etc...not long after this there was a steady string of “retirements”, relief of command.
This was followed by Flag Officers making statements that Diversity is our Main Strength. Women are as capable in combat as men, etc
This was followed by the Infantry requirement to allow women into combat training courses where mid level officers and senior enlisted were trying to raise the alarm over falsified female combat readiness reports.
They were dealt with promptly.
As POTUS and CIC, President Trump has unfettered power under Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution to require resignation of a flag officer...See Truman/McArthur dust up for reference...
The Rear Admiral should be on the street most rikki-tik...
The Deep State pervades the military, too. No SEAL, sailor or airman should have ever obey, follow or fight for Rear Admiral Collin Green.
He doesnt have their back.
If POTUS Trump can ever be ruthless, now would be a good time.
Rear Admiral Collin Green is auditioning for his future position at CNN unless Paul Ryan can get him on at Fox News.
Agreed!
bkmk
Good time for Trump to fire the “top SEAL” and NOT replace him with anyone...indefinitely.
‘...most rikki-tik...’
GOOD Lord!!!!! I ain’t heard that in a looooong time...
This knob-polisher was a captain in 2013.
He's an 0bama boy.
Thanks. I never heard about the questionnaire.
Gotta hand it to the Commies. They brook no opposition. When I look at the Flag rank people these days I’m in shock.
Trump’s just been up to his a** in alligators. Can’t fire everyone without another screamfest ensuing.
Coup? What coup???
Wow....Didn’t Pres Truman fire Douglas McArthur for insubordination?
Hard to believe this act of insubordination not only from the Admiral but from the Chief of Naval Operations and the Secretary of the Navy if in fact they are in on it. Trump needs to read the riot act to the SEC DEF who tired to talk him out of these pardons and let him know he will not tolerate insubordination from anyone in the military chain of command. Period.
Rear Admiral Collin Green you do remember who the Commander in Chief is don’t you?
You won't even be fighting for the interests of the USA.
DO NOT be a sucker.
PERHAPS OBAMA MURDERED MOST OF THE GOOD ONES, these ALL AT THE SAME TIME:
Maybe they should have committed treason (Manning) or desertion (Bergdahl) - and of course waited for Demoncrat President to pardon them. Heaven forbid they be forgiven for fighting a war we sent them into.
And my biggest gripe with Trump is he has done nothing to clean up the mess left by Obama at the Pentagon. I retired from the Army during the Clinton years and have watched our Army sink into the sewer under Obama. I had high hopes for Trump in this area but NOTHING has been done.
