Fox News: Trump To Restore Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher’s Rank To Chief
American Military News ^ | 11/04/19

Posted on 11/04/2019 1:31:57 PM PST by Enlightened1

Fox News host Pete Hegseth said President Trump is expected to make an announcement in the next week about restoring the rank of Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher.

Hegseth said on “Fox & Friends” Monday morning that he learned the news during a conversation with Trump over the weekend, and the actions by the president are expected to come before Veteran’s Day, Nov. 11, Fox News reported.

“It doesn’t have to be a pardon or a commutation,” Hegseth said. “It could be, but pardons and commutations imply guilt, that you’ve done something wrong and you need to be forgiven for that. The president, as the commander-in-chief, has a lot of latitude under the Uniform Code of Military Justice to dismiss a case or change a sentence. From what I understand, that is likely what will happen here shortly.”

Hegseth had tweeted over the weekend saying that “imminent action” would take place in the cases of Army Lieutenant Clint Lorance and Army Major Matt Golsteyn, and confirmed Monday that Gallagher was among those considerations as well.

It appears long overdue justice to right politically motivated injustice against these good men is finally going to happen.

Thank God for President Trump.

Why yes, it IS just in time for Veteran's Day.
Now do you think that CBS, NBC and ABC will carry this in their news report? I don't think so. They SHOULD.
FOX NEWS will.

E-7 over 20 is about $4,500 per month base pay.

If I were the President, I would restore his E-7, grant a direct commission as either O-3 or O-4 in the Navy reserves. This would not require Congressional approval. Then encourage him to assume his commission for a 12 to 18 month “last tour”. This would grant him the pay grade based on his last grade successfully held.

It would be a nice way for the Navy to apologize for the crap that they put him through.

First Trump undermines foreign policy by making a phone call to the Ukrainian president. Now Trump is undermining the U.S. military. This is treason! This is an assault on our democracy! Adam Schiff needs to look into this! /s

OUTSTANDING. I suspect he was already welcome in most Chief’s Messes, but this fixes an injustice. His ONLY conviction was “wrongfully posing for an unofficial picture with a human casualty”, which might warrant a verbal reprimand or even a Letter of Instruction. But it doesn’t even come close to justifying stripping a Chief of his Anchors, and imprisoning him for 8 months.

Now it’s time for RADM Green to get over his personal obsession with Chief Gallagher, abandon his plan to strip him of his Trident, and allow him to move on. Green has much bigger problems than Gallagher.

Great!

I wish that President Trump could also find a way to have Rob O'Neil serve another three years so he could retire honorably with full retirement pay. Who could blame O'Neil for resigning premature to retirement?

You’re going to have a hard time finding a never Trump military service member after this.

They did a Roger Stone on this man’s family
NCIS agents walked his children out in their underwear by gunpoint. Just horrible.

When his kids visited him they had to wear robes because of all the sex offenders.
