God Bless President Trump
Thank God for President Trump.
How much longer are we going to allow these commies in Congress to attack him?
The war is on and the battle lines are clearly drawn.
OUT frekin’ STANDING ! You send guys to fight...let them kill and decorum be damned...alls fair .
Thank you President Trump for correcting egregious injustices. You dont send people to wage war on our behalf and not support them. There are no antiseptic wars.
Agreed now Trump needs to go after the scum that put these men through the ringer.
Æthelblack the Unready, Prince of Kenya and Red Diaper baby, would disagree with you.
Fortunately, our President is in the middle of flushing that pole-smoking Islamoturd.
God bless our magnificent POTUS!
Not wanting to be picky here, but since Gallagher has been pardoned and restored to his rank as E7, why not follow through and direct the Navy to promote Gallagher to E8?
I agree. He had been selected for promotion already. He should be promoted.
I wonder if those two Army officers will be offered their jobs back, with back pay and promotions to where they would have been?
“You send guys to fight...let them kill and decorum be damned...alls fair .”
Agreed.
Like Rush used to say “You send the military to war to kill people and break things.”. Not an exact quote but close.
I remember the case in Afghanistan where four Marines were severely punished for peeing on three dead Taliban. The Obama-appointed, non-combat air wing Commandant, Amos went ballistic over that and demanded that those Marines be hammered.
We as Americans generally have no idea what goes on in combat and the effects it has - but it's criminal to go after the men we put into that situation without understanding the changes it creates.
In short, when you put young people into the constant fear of their own death and they see others killed or maimed, they begin to see things differently. Life becomes much more expendable and seeing the enemy killed is quite gratifying. You also know that your own life could end at any second, so a grim humor comes out of it all. I used to carry a wallet while I was in Vietnam that had pictures of motorcycles, a Cobra sports car, and pretty girls so that if they killed me, they'd think that they killed the biggest stud in the First Marine Division!
We changed - all of us changed - and it was for the love of our country.
Im a little concerned about Esper, I heard he fought the president on this. Why do we have a SOD who doesnt take the side f his men. I understand we shouldnt encourage cruel treatment by our men, but we shouldnt encourage cruel treatment OF our men either. When it comes to making a split second decision it needs to be America First, not the enemy first.
What PDT did serves two purposes.
1) It demonstrates the quality of mercy — when such mercy is appropriate to demonstrate — that should be a part of any criminal justice system, military or civilian.
And...
2) It tells the military’s senior leadership, right up through each service branch’s Secretary (a civilian) and uniformed chief, that PDT is indeed the military’s Commander in Chief and that he intends to exercise his powers as top CinC whenever and however he needs to.
Hopefully, this message sinks in and we stop seeing uniformed members of the world’s greatest fighting force, such as a certain Army lieutenant colonel, testifying in front of Congress with the aim of undercutting the Commander in Chief.
Welcome home brother.
The charge against Maj. Golsteyn was that he killed a bombmaker? What is wrong with that? What is not all, completely right about that? He probably saved a bunch of US military and Afghan civilian lives down the road. What idiot, jackass lawyers do we have in the Army? I remember in the Bond movie Casino Royale when 007 kills the bombmaker and the audience cheered. I was one of them.
This retired Army Officer is celebrating some of the best news to come out of the Trump administration. Congratulations to all three men who can now move on with their lives, cleared of this Obama military travesty and desire to punish our own before the enemy. Guys, enjoy being back with your families, freedom and being Americans again!!!!!!!!!!!!
Esper stood up for the deep state, a fatal error in my mind.
