Defense Secretary Mark Esper fired Navy Secretary Richard Spencer Sunday over his handling of the case of a Navy SEAL who posed for a photo next to an Islamic State terrorist's corpse in Iraq, a Pentagon spokesman said Sunday.

“Secretary of Defense Mark T. Esper has asked for the resignation of Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer after losing trust and confidence in him regarding his lack of candor over conversations with the White House involving the handling of Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher," Department of Defense spokesman Jonathan Hoffman said in a statement Sunday.

Eddie Gallagher is a hero who did nothing wrong.

Esper is following the Pompeo playbook by currying favor with Trump to keep his job for more than a year. Regardless, Spencer’s actions were insubordinate and he should have been fired.

He's lucky he isn't being court martialed

When you're in the military and the President of the United States gives a direct order, saying "We aren't demoting this guy and you aren't sripping him of his rank/role"

That's it. That's the end. Your opinion on the matter is irrelevant. There's no trying to fight it in the shadows. There's no appeals process.

I honestly do not understand the issue here. What’s wrong with what Gallagher did?

Agree. This glacial pace of Swamp draining needs to become a raging torrent.

So you admit he’s doing his job, yet somehow that is “currying favor” with Trump?

How about he continue to do his job to the expectation of the boss if he wants to keep his job.

Just like the rest of us. No one is entitled to work.

How long you think it will be before Democrats call for Congressional Hearings over this one?

In general, he apparently pissed off the wrong person since there were 11 people in the offending shot and he was the only one punished.

Dims and SJWs care more about armed terrorist combatants and complain about how he was killed. I swear, Dims today would be protesting bad treatment of SS concentration camp guards. Actually, with Omar and Tlaib, they probably would.
