I was not pleased with the way that Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher’s trial was handled by the Navy. He was treated very badly but, despite this, was completely exonerated on all major charges. I then restored Eddie’s rank. Likewise, large cost overruns from past administration’s.....

....contracting procedures were not addressed to my satisfaction. Therefore, Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer’s services have been terminated by Secretary of Defense Mark Esper. I thank Richard for his service & commitment. Eddie will retire peacefully with all of the.....

....honors that he has earned, including his Trident Pin. Admiral and now Ambassador to Norway Ken Braithwaite will be nominated by me to be the new Secretary of the Navy. A man of great achievement and success, I know Ken will do an outstanding job!

yes indeed. lol!
Thanks for the info. Very interesting.
But what the Navy would or wouldn’t do regarding his assignment is moot now. After seeing him, I’m convinced Gallagher wants to retire. Being harassed might very well be one of his reasons, but it doesn’t matter. He will ride into the sunset with his honor restored, and rightfully so.
Thank you, Mr. President.
The nonperformance of the Zumwalt Littoral warfare ship— high tech high cost and using “green environmental” fuel was a text book case. It could not transit the Panama Canal on its inaugural cruise (after many shakedown failures). Lot of this is US Naval Institute press.
Could not proceed under its own power. Will have to review the “solution”.
That’s one major example. The subs under construction are, afai can determine, on schedule. Gonna be some wicked a@@ firepower and stealth there, and new platforms for a major leg of nuclear strategic deterrence.
obamaumao was focused on... Ray Mabus and his OVER PC personnel crap- including re-design of berthing for crews— like it was a college mixed sex dormitory not a warship. Mabus was a real POC. Talk about order and discipline, Mabus could have taken a good look at Israels vast experience in male female combat units. But... no. Push the lib/ alphabet people agenda.
Or seaman apprentice.
USNI News, a publication of the US Naval Institute, reported on its website that the ship was in the canal when it lost propulsion. Crew also saw water intrusion in bearings that connect electrical motors to drive shafts, the website reported.
USNI News also reported that the Zumwalt suffered minor cosmetic damage. The ship had been scheduled to arrive in San Diego by the end of the year to start the activation of its weapon system, the website reported.
Good job Mr. President, good job!
“Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer’s services have been terminated by Secretary of Defense Mark Esper.”
Hey Sec Spencer, do you hear that sound? That is the sound of a Commander and Chief with a big clankin’ set of brass balls!
Now you can put on your pussy hat and sit in the corner.
I can’t imagine anyone asking a question like that when it’s a known fact that the government is filled with Trump and America haters.
Good order and discipline. If it’s all so deadly important how come you were circumventing the CIC? Pompous ass!
“If President Trump did not have 100% loyalty from the special forces types, he does now.
It is a very good thing to have.”
Paraphrasing Chuckie Schumer...
You take on the special forces community — they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you
So far Rear Adm Green hasn’t offered his resignation in protest
over The Navy Secretary’s firing.
I guess Green won’t be running his mouth anytime soon.
Chief Gallagher had no choice but to retire, and even if he did, he would likely choose to do so. I am glad to see him retire with both his Trident AND his Anchors.
I am too. But the military insubordination of the CIC is very troubling. Equally troubling is that there are apparently no ramifications for it. This is not a one off situation here. We’ve had a string of incidents the past three years. Don’t think the fascist Democrats aren’t watching this situation closely.
Yes! I am so happy he fired that insubordinate jerk.
The insubordinate jerks are in Navy admiral uniforms. So far no word they have been “fired.”
EXACTLY! He bowed to the numerous “Vindman’s” that poison the military in DC.
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out the door.
Now demote Admiral Green to Cook Second Class.
Now THAT’S something I’d love to see done......
Thank you President Trump. It should be very clear now who is the Commander in Chief. And now for the SEAL Admiral......he should be getting his retirement paperwork in order. And Lt Col Vindman,......
Gallagher had all ready dropped his retirement papers. Takes about six months (minimum) to process retirement. This administrative review was BS because he has a retirement date. Had he tried to stay in for years longer and not retire, the review board would be appropriate. Now it just seemed petty.
