Eddie Gallagher, the Navy SEAL at the center of a high-profile standoff between President Trump and some top officials in the Navy, will retire from active duty and will not take part in a review board over his conduct in 2017 while deployed, a Navy spokesman said late Monday.
Gallagher, a highly decorated SEAL who received two Bronze Stars with V for valor, was acquitted of murder in the stabbing death of an Islamic State militant captive but was convicted of posing with the corpse.
Lt. Cmdr. Clay Doss, the Navy spokesman, said there will be no additional information due to privacy concerns.

I just read an article from last summer also saying that he planned to retire, so that part isn’t anything new. The firing, though, ABOUT TIME!

Ok, it is a bit crude to pose with a dead terrorists body..I get that.
To be involved in war is to exist in a different world. No one who has not been there can possibly understand what that world is like.
The normal world's rules apply only loosely to the world of war.
Cut these warriors a LOT of slack. We ask them to enter that nightmare world and kill and maim in our name. Like it or not we are all responsible for what they do to cope...some fail at coping and end up as suicides.
We sleep soundly in our beds because hard men such as these stand ever ready to kill for us.
We can never adequately pay them for the things they do for us all...thank God that such men exist.

I think we learned a lot about the Navy JAG corps.
Puts a different complexion on A Few Good Men...
Giving themselves medals, going after a victim who "got away", intimidating the Naval Special Warfare commander - all in a day's work.

The man was acquitted on the serious stuff. All things considered, if the man wanted to continue in the Navy, the remaining infraction could be handled administratively. But, since he’s retiring, it ain’t no thing.

A buddy of the Naval Special Warfare commander Collin Green called up Rush Limbaugh today and spilled on what was going on.
The criminal JAG NeverTrumping Obama-ite slimelawyers were on a mission to "get" Gallagher, so they were advising Collin Green to go against the President.

I remember that photo of the GI with the cigarette hanging from his mouth.
There was quite a controversy when it first appeared years ago. Seems there were 2 versions, the original without the cig and smoke and the photo-shopped one with cig and smoke.

He has a wife and three kids. He's missed substantial portions of their lives serving our nation. Selflessly.
In a fair world the shadow government cockroaches would be hanging from an overpass.

Admiral Green needs to turn in his scrambled egg hat and get on with his life's work of grifting for the beltway bandits.
Spencer and the admiral both threw shade on the President and only one is gone.
Why is the brass still on active duty when he clearly defied the President?

Not sure the cig does anything for the picture, the eyes are what tell the story.

Spencer was on CBS last night shooting his mouth off about Trump. All negative. The irony was lost on him that he was proposing a corrupt “fix” to the situation behind his bosses back.
