So, Collin Green AND the secretary of the navy have real spines. Unlike Lindsay Graham and most of the rest of the GOP. Challenge Trump to Fire Them

Yes, and it remains to be seen whether Esper fired him for being too close to Trump's dictum, or because Spencer challenged Trump's decision in the first place. And what of Read Admiral Green, who has also gone to the mat over the Navy's capacity to discipline its own. | |||

Case Closed Until, perhaps, the next Sec Def reopens it. I hope s(he) does, though such an action will clearly agitate some people. Especially if she then shuffles personnel and takes away benefits to send very clear signals to the military that some decision makers chose the wrong course of action when caught between rock and hard place. I would sympathize with them for just following orders, but support demoting/reassigning/disciplining and other public messages back to the military that they should have defended their processes more vigorously against Trump administration interference. | |||

From the Tweeter-in-Chief: "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!" | |||

So, is I-1 pardoning members of the military who have been convicted of war crimes to press the point that he alone, as Dear Leader, has the authority to reward those who please him... like in the next civil war that I-1 dreams of triggering?

https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/25...aftermath/index.html If Obama had done this, we would have heard about how military law and discipline are paramount, and how a commander-in-chief with no military experience shouldn't meddle with those who do know what they're doing...
