I have not liked the NY Times for a long time, but they are getting to be just as fake as the the WP and CNN.

I dont know beans about military etiquette but imo one shouldnt make private disagreement with ones superior into a public disagreement. Disrespectful. Sets a very bad example.Absolutely. I know talking about the president with contempt, is a violation of the UGMJ. I would guess going to the media, probably is too.

All the warriors were run out by the Kenyanesian Usurper.
The only flag officers we have left are those who saluted the transgenderizing of our military.

Saw the Midway movie last night. What a Trumpian movie — better yet, a throw-back to the time when real heros and smart guys were promoted in the Navy. Not some pencil pushers like Obama put in office.
Time to clean house. And if you haven’t seen Midway yet, by all means do so. Great acting, great telling of the tale, and thrilling animation/filming.

I think if I had tried this when the orderly room clerk relayed an order from the company commander, I would have been in LBJ.You are correct sir. I saw LBJ a couple of times, from the outside, not the inside 😁 There was an Air Force full colonel in LBJ when I was there.

We now see the military Swamp, created by Zero, needs fumigated immediately starting with Fat Vindman. Our CIC may want to reinstate the military officers Zero fired and retired.

It seems Spencer has his head screwed on straight. Perhaps, but if he plans to proceed contrary to what clearly appears a valid utterance by Trump, as the article indicates, it is not screwed on very tight.
It behooves Spencer, at a minimum, to have one of his people contact the WH for confirmation and any clarification he may need.

Perfumed princes at the Pentagon are easily replaced. Not so courageous Navy SEALS.No doubt. Werent they called REMFs at one time? Maybe still are.

A tweet is not lawful and it’s not an order. You think Trump could mobilize troops with a tweet? He is correct and the orders are needed.

I can't see a good SecNav abandoning ship over such a morale-building executive action.
I suspect a major Marxist lie from the NYT here.

“It seems Spencer has his head screwed on straight. “
that’s my take ... all the rest appears to be a large number of dubious, anonymous rumors being presented as “news” by the dying lying leftist fake stream enemedia in an attempt to stir up trouble between Commander-In-Chief Trump and his military subordinates ...

Spencer said that if he receives official orders -- not in the form of a tweet -- the disciplinary process against Gallagher will cease. This is the rare sort of thing that drives me nuts about Trump.
There have been a few of these stories in recent years where a senior administration official was taken to task for ignoring a directive from the President on some matter or another, and the responses of the officials were always the same: "I never received any such directive from the President or anyone else on that matter."
This is the kind of juvenile sh!t that really hurts the President's credibility as a serious leader.

Saw it with 3 other old Vets. An AF, a Navy and two Dogfaces. We all highly enjoyed it. The segment where the code breaking spooks deduced that what the Japs referred to as “AF” was Midway....So when they attacked Midway, we were waiting for them. That was handled very much the same in the previous Midway movie. So it must be authentic.
