Reads like the SECDEF fired the SECNAV for disrespecting the SECDEF, not the POTUS. Trumps should fire the SECDEF and that Admiral Green as well. JMHO

No reason for that...The SecDev did his job correctly when SecNav went around Chain of C0mmand...

That is exactly the way it reads but most here are ignoring it and claiming that trump ordered the guy fired because he wouldn’t do what Trump wanted.

That isn’t what happened.

Now we will see what Esper does about the Seal

Agree with that. At a mimimum the admiral has to go, too.

No way. Trump simply read the disrespect per CoC and did what he HAD to do. The Navy is made of sailors. At the end of the day, the Military Code of Justice is to protect the rank-and-file FROM insurbordinate SUPERIORS.

Classic Trump. God bless that man.

There’s no way the sec of defense fires the the sec of navy without Trump’s approval.
