The CinC restored Chief Gallagher’s rank. The RAMD is not disputing that. He is directing an administrative action of review of Gallaghers fitness to serve as a SEAL over other actions he allegedly did in violation of the UCMJ/Laws of Naval Warfare. Why does the one seem to make everyone loose their heads over the other?
If this all political BS, then fine. I just don’t think the POTUS has to be looked at as the savior of every man in uniform that falls under the crosshairs of military justice.
You guys do know that sometimes warriors in uniform F up, right? They deserve justice, not an intervention by the POTUS.
Some deserve Leavenworth, others deserve medals. Second guessing every action of the brass by the CinC will not help the military.
Scrutinizing the brass for their performance will, however, strengthen the force overall and over time.
We all knew, at various levels of command and staff, who the horse riders or who the horse’s asses were...
That kenyan Commie f#ck was busy, and a fast way Up The Ladder was to please him.
Speaking of BS...this guy was in jail and just beat a murder rap! It is highly unlikely he can qualify for SEAL status, and this RADM knows it.
