Trump restores Navy SEAL Gallagher to rank of chief again

President Donald J. Trump has decided to restore convicted SEAL Edward Gallagher’s pay grade to chief petty officer, overriding a decision last week by the Navy’s top admiral, Fox News reports

“This president recognizes the injustice of it,” Pete Hegseth said during Fox and Friends after speaking with the president. “You train someone to go fight and kill the enemy. Then they go kill the enemy the way someone doesn’t like, and then we put them in jail or we throw the book at them.”.

And all inter-racial couples. No same race couples allowed on tv including commercials.

Every movie, tv show, commercial must have only inter racial couples.

Oh, ok. But, they’re not accurately portrayed. Real world is fat white baby mama & a black or Mexican guy.

Explain that one.

I don’t think that it can be explained in rational terms. An executive order requiring any JAG involved in the prosecution of a combat violation must himself/herself spend a couple of years in a frontline combat position might be helpful. It would probably curtail a few needless, unnecessary (AKA maniacal) prosecutions.

Question is, why would any flag officer leave one of their people, particularly a decorated one, exposed and alone in a time of trial? This is a definite morale corrupter.

The caliber of the flag officer decisions & those made by the brass do not seem in keeping with the tradition of the service. Those soldiers go into harm’s way and in very difficult conditions leaving families & friends and they are hung out to dry, crucified as “examples” or as “fall guys” or for “virtue signalling by men who have never been under that pressure.

It is not supposed to be Hobson’s choice where you eliminate the enemy and are held accountable as though it was murder or you stand down and let the enemy kill your team.

I suspect these officers are of a different caliber distorted by the same forces that controlled Obama, a dislike for America and for the American soldier. All of the firings over Obama’s terms and the type of people that were given responsibility & advance. Obama was trying to humble America and promote her enemies; this is of a piece.

I agree wholeheartedly with that statement. Obama loving liberal types have no place in our military hierarchy.

After all is said and done, he has a half million dollars in legal fees and the only thing they found that he had done wrong was having his picture taken with an enemy corpse. Kind of ironic that you can be a congressperson, commit rape and or sexual harassment and the government covers your settlement and even keeps it sealed from the public.

Too often it seems that courageous patriots are fighting for corruption politicians. Something is terribly wrong and deeply disturbing with that picture.

Time to get another “top admiral”.

***********

The Navy’s broken. The flag ranks have been in a zero integrity zone since they decided to make it policy to lie in support of mixed gender crew’d ships. The morale issues, discipline issues, all sorts of nasty problems swept under the rug and officially denied because The Narrative.

And that filters down through the ranks. Chief Gallagher was brought to trial because some of his team mates didn’t like being disciplined. So, they told stories on him.

That’s the USN. And that’s the SEALs now.

And it all started with the flag ranks and an absolute abandonment of honor and integrity.

“Every movie, tv show, commercial must have only inter racial couples” (Not that there is anything wrong with inter racial couples)

Or homosexuals.

Many commercials show homo couples.

It’s the new normal.

Trump is terrible with his personal picks.

He picked terrible staff that provides him the lists to pick from. He didn't clean house when he assumed the Presidency and we are living with that decision today. That said he has done more good than any President in my lifetime and I can only lament as to what could have been done if his Party and the people had been in his corner, instead of they returned Pelosie to Speakership of the House.
