Trump declares Navy will not take away Eddie Gallagher's SEAL Trident

The attorney for Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher said on "Fox & Friends" Thursday that the Navy is trying to humiliate his client by potentially taking away his SEAL Trident, as President Trump reaffirmed his support for the embattled soldier.
"This is an action that they could have taken at any time from July right after the verdict, until today," his lawyer Tim Parlatore said. "President Trump takes action on a Friday afternoon — Monday morning, the admiral [Adm. Collin Green] comes in and brings everybody together and says 'I disagree with the president, we're going to take his Trident.'"
quote:
Parlatore said the actions being taken by the Navy are geared toward humiliating Gallagher and serve no practical purpose.
"This is a procedure that's in place for people that are going to be continuing on in the Navy -- to actually remove them from the SEAL teams and say OK, you've committed major safety violations," he said. "You can't be a SEAL anymore. We're going to send you out to a ship... The instruction even says this is not the proper procedure for somebody that's getting out of the Navy entirely or should be pushed out of the Navy entirely," the lawyer added.
quote:
Shortly after Parlatore's comments, Trump reaffirmed his support for Gallagher on Twitter and declared that he will not lose his Trident.
"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!" he wrote.

I’m not sure how I feel about this move. There were apparently a lot of SEALs that came out against him. I like Trump’s support of the military, but they are not infallible.

Seems like insubordination.

Adm. Green needs to be held accountable

Slap down...to the Obama low life Brass that left those brave men hanging on the rooftop in Behghazi. Boss/CIC now in control; he won't let his men down and they'll love his for it. Military Purge needed.

That's that, but I will bet that idiot Admiral whose been bitched slapped by Trump from the beginning will try something stupid.

Good. ISIS fighters are subhuman scum and should be treated as such.

Oh my God, how dare this HITLER overrule a Navy Admiral !!

This guy Green seems like he's going to martyr himself on behalf of the SEAL Officer class who dont like Gallagher. People don't seem to understand the friction that exists sometimes in the Military, especially the Navy, between Senior Enlisted/Warrants and the Officer Class. It's the Senior Chiefs and Warrant Officers, the specialist's that keeps the Navy running.

He should make him a general in the space force.

That Admiral will be retiring soon if he keeps trying to have a Peter measuring contest with his CIC.
Or better yet send the Admiral to the shittiest PDS there is in the Navy.

How about demoting Adm. Green while you’re at it for insubordination??
