re: Traitorous Navy brass

i thought he killed a prisoner? am i mixing him up with someone else?
A prisoner was being treated by a medic, and he walked up and stabbed him with his knife. That is not in dispute. The prosecution was bungled and thrown for a loop when the medic changed his story at the eleventh hour and said that he suffocated the prisoner that Gallagher had just stabbed so technically the medic killed him and Gallagher was acquitted of those charges.
However he has a lengthy track record of misconduct.
quote:
Another accusation was that Gallagher's sniper work during his 2017 deployment became indiscriminate, reckless, and bloodthirsty. He allegedly fired his rifle far more frequently than other snipers;[2] according to testimony, the other snipers in the platoon did not consider him a good sniper, and he took "random shots" into buildings.[1] Other snipers said they witnessed Gallagher taking at least two militarily pointless shots, shooting and killing an unarmed old man in a white robe as well as a young girl walking with other girls. Gallagher allegedly boasted about the large number of people he had killed, claiming he averaged three kills a day over 80 days, including four women.[1] Gallagher also was reportedly known for indiscriminately spraying neighborhoods with rockets and machine gun fire with no known enemy force in the region.[5]
Also threatened to kill his fellow SEAL's for holding him accountable.
quote:
A charge of obstruction of justice was brought against Gallagher for alleged witness intimidation. According to the claim, Gallagher allegedly threatened to kill fellow SEALs if they reported his actions.[2] The Navy cited his text messages as attempting to undermine the investigation, with messages sent to "pass the word on those traitors", meaning cooperating witnesses, and to get them blacklisted within the special warfare community.[5][1] This resulted in him being confined in the brig for a time with heavy restrictions on his ability to communicate, although this confinement was later lessened.[2]
It doesn't bother y'all that other SEAL's and SEAL command don't want this guy in the outfit?

Command not so much, but yeah, I stated earlier that I'd seen wildly disparate accounts of his service. Some of his team members think he's a dirtbag, but the medic went out on a limb for him for some reason. Bottom line is that I don't know what the truth is, and neither does anybody else who wasn't there. All we can do is read the various sides to this story.
But, and this is a big but, the Navy screwed this up. If they thought he was guilty of all those other things they should have already sacked him from the teams (I'm 99% sure that doesn't require a judicial verdict) or brought him to trial on those issues. As it stands they look like idiots because they're charging one man for a crime clearly committed by several people. They have little ground to stand on because of that.

And even if it’s an order, they seem to have cast doubt on whether it’s lawful, arguing internally that the fate of Gallagher’s trident is an agency regulatory matter, much like determining whether a pilot can qualify for a license.

Just as the president can’t order the Federal Aviation Administration to certify his son as a pilot, the commander in chief can’t order them to keep Gallagher a SEAL, they’re suggesting behind closed doors.
Wow. Apples to oranges.

The navy secretary is Goldman Sachs deepstate BIG TIME. His service is mere window dressing. I believe you served, Don't carry water for him, man.

I don't care about SECNAV. Just another politician.

Agreed

Didn't Gallagher say there a lot of SJWs in the SEAL ranks?
That's honestly one of the biggest disappointments of the Trump Admin for me being that he has not done enough to get these leftist SJWs out of the military that continue to treat the military as a social experiment.
Oh well, still voting Trump in 2020 because he's way better than whatever socialist loon democrats will put up.
Tell us all about it, will ya. I can't stand our president sitting on his arse, with nothing to do for the past three years but fight with the FBI, CIA, Democratic House of Representatives, Never Trumpers and the entire MSM.
You would think he could get around to firing a couple of admirals while he's resting, wouldn't you?
GTFO with this stupidity.

i haven’t really followed this story.. can someone explain why trump is involved at all? what’s so special about this guy
Good soldier doing his job. A combination of envious colleagues and Obama Era officers who are pro-Islam got upset that he was doing his job a little too well. At his court martial one of the prosecution witnesses admitted to lying. Obama Era Navy brass is upset their strategy to get rid of a patriot failed. Now they want a second bite at the apple to get rid of him.
As far as Trumps involvement... He is the CIC, and the brass at the global force for good do the listening while he does the talking.

“The Navy follows the lawful orders of the President," said the Chief of Naval Information Rear Adm. Charles Brown in an email to Navy Times. "We will do so in case of an order to stop the administrative review of SOC Gallagher’s professional qualification. We are aware of the President’s tweet and we are awaiting further guidance.”
Exactly. A fricking tweet isn't an order. Trump can issue an order today if he wants it stopped, and that is what he should should do.
We all know he's the fricking Commander in Chief. Commanders in Chief don't give orders with fricking tweets.

And I'm sure an order will be issued. In the meantime the Navy comes across as insubordinate pricks saying they are going to do their thing until they get said written order, while the Pres has made it clear his feelings on the matter.

Gallagher was apparently on Fox and Friends this morning saying he has evidence of corruption and meddling in his case by top Navy officials....and so President TRump has said he will not stop the review board from hearing the case.. hmmmm...maybe he wants their wrongdoings brought to light?
