You are correct about salute and obey. But you have to have an order first. The President extrapolating on twitter is not an order to anyone. It is his thoughts on the subject. If he is serious, I believe he is, call the SECNAV, either to the oval office or on the phone, and give him a direct order to cease and desist with the review board. If he does not follow the order, fire him then.
Are we still paying for trannys in the millitary?
well...when someone rises to head the navy, they should be smart enough to take a tweet from the President as “advice” that should be followed...and not challenged in public if at all...
“The President extrapolating on twitter is not an order to anyone.”
Really? If my boss sent me an email, it wouldn’t really be an order?
The SecNav knows damn well what Trump expects and wants. Trump is NOT a subtle man. He’s publicly disobeying Trump and threatening to resign (maybe) if he doesn’t get to overrule Trump.
Orders need to be clear enough to understand and be delivered. Done! The SecNav KNOWS what Trump wants. He’s made that VERY clear in the article. He knows. He’s received it. He just doesn’t agree. So he’s publicly defying the President in the news media.
My commanders would have eviscerated me. I’d have had my subordinates by the balls.
PS - The SecNav has EVERY right to contact President Trump IN PRIVATE and explain his opposition. He has the right to seek clarification - in private. He has no right to complain to the media or say he won’t obey what he believes Trump requires of him.
I believe he addressed the story during a tv appearance & told him to “Get back to work”
“You are correct about salute and obey. But you have to have an order first. The President extrapolating on twitter is not an order to anyone.”
Bullshit. He issues a FULL PARDON to Gallager, and the Navy starts a new proceeding against him. So the commander in Chief Tweets this:
“The Navy will NOT be taking away Warfighter and Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher’s Trident Pin. This case was handled very badly from the beginning. Get back to business!”
Then the Navy decides to conduct disciplinary proceedings against them unless they get written orders? That is insubordination. They know exactly what he wants and they are doing the opposite. And not because they are unclear. It is because they do not agree.
You have no idea if an order thru channels was issued and neither do I (but I believe it has been ordered) or anyone here. Yet you seem to believe an order was not issued.
The Admiral has already begun to back track and this issue will be resolved quickly.
