What in the hell is going on in the military? Former Lt Col myself and I cringe with shame seeing Vindman and other policy weenies dragging the military into the gutter. I've refused to obey an order I believed illegal. That is one thing. But I NEVER disobeyed a lawful order. Or pretended it wasn't binding because it was only verbal.
“What in the hell is going on in the military?”
The Obama purge of flag officers?
If Truman could fire MacArthur, a genuine American hero, Trump can fire this jackass.
Intervention? Um What?
The Navy's Chain of Command ends at one place.
President Trump.
Eight years of Obama is what is wrong with our military. He systematically purged our best, brightest and most patriotic Generals, Admirals, Senior level Officers and NCOs and replaced them with his Commie/Muzzie sucking lackeys.
This is the schiff-storm that President Trump is having to deal with, today.
Now only has our military been infested, so has the entire Federal Government.
Anybody who is drawing a taxpayer funded paycheck who can correctly pronounce the name: Barak Hussein Obama needs to be terminated with extreme prejudice.
Intervention? INTERVENTION? He is THE Commander and Chief of the Armed Forces - he can't "intervene" in the affairs - they are HIS. HE appoints the Secretary - he works for the CinC. The commanders are sworn to uphold HIS orders. As long as they are lawful, what the CinC says is the way it is!
Stupid freaking journalists.
It’s like he’s saying, “Fire me, I won’t serve under a President Trump.” In that case he should resign.
But, he may figure if a number of (well warranted) Trump military firings can be made political, he’ll be lauded as a martyr for “the cause.” He’s probably has a good retirement secured anyway. This will raise his post-military visibility considerably.
Maybe he could parlay that into a gig hawking reverse mortgages.
What part of Commander in Chief doesn’t he understand? Trump has to fire him immediately!!
‘I believe the process matters for good order and discipline,’
Trump, when he announces he has fired the idiot, should give as his reason - for good order and discipline.
If Trump lets this insubordination ride, then what is the incentive for any top officer in the military to obey his orders.
President Trump would be well advised to fire the d.bag.
It is pretty obvious this Navy Sec does not have the brains to take a really, really, really strong hint and mend his ways. This guy, left in office, is likely to await opportunity to stab P.Trump in the back.
Guy’s obviously a demigod in his own mind....who does Trump think he is, ordering ME around...gggrrrhhh!!!...this is NOT over!
Watch your back P.Trump, this guy is now your serious enemy and will work behind your back to hurt you.
The same thing that's happened to most every other American institution and tradition.
The President is always the commander in chief. This is insubordination in a military officer. Gotta go.
Dims are probably trying to set up another scenario for impeachment.

That is the whole point here. Gallagher was rail roaded and the entire military justice system abused its power and corrupted the process to persecute the guy.
The whole process was corrupt, abusive and illegal. President Trump is correcting the injustice Gallagher has been subjected to< p>
Fire his azz
Green needs to be reminded who his boss is.
“.The Navy responded with a statement saying it would follow ‘lawful orders’ from the president”
Oh, Trump should take this opportunity to give this mutineer a lawful order. Summon him to the White House. Tell him to go bring you a cup of coffee. Tell him no cream or sugar. Then after he brings it, tell him all proceedings against the SEAL are over. Ask if he has any questions.
[[’I believe the process matters for good order and discipline,’ Spencer told Reuters]]
Then you won’t mind looking for a civilian job then for disobeying an order then huh?
Just like those state department fools that were testifying all week. The President is doing things differently from how we usually do them, so he must be wrong and we don’t have to listen to him.
Fire his ass. Now.
