Should President Trump provide credibility back to UCMJ by charging to start with: Admiral Green, Adm Gilday, Secretary Spencer?

Msg Stan , that is such an ignorant response, I’m actually embarrassed you’re an enlisted peer of mine.

Bill Clinton lied to avoid serving in the armed forces. Joe Biden enjoyed several student deferment and then a medical deferment for asthma although his condition did not seem to affect his ability to play baseball and football. Funny about these ailments that are so specialized that they impact sefvice but not sports.

Credibility back? Trump under undercut ucmj several times. He's the last person i want criticizing anything involving the military.

I think sometimes general officers over react that rank has it's privilege . If I had someone under me that continued to break the orders that I commanded and disregarded them . I am a person of patience and try and understand situations . But there comes a point where you must lead and for the good order disciple personnel . If Chief Petty Officer Gallagher has not disobeyed any orders or disrespect any fellow officers I see this as harassment . A Admiral is no different then private when it comes to disobeying orders both should be held accountable . but unfortunately this is where rank has it's privilege and most of the time is swept under the carpet .

As far as I'm concerned the UCMJ should apply to ALL or NONE. No half measures.

SEALS/SF/other SMUs can remove tabs, pins, and membership of those elite units if they feel the individual acted in a way that brings or brought discredit to that specific organization. Selection is an ongoing process. Being convicted for what he was convicted for, whether he was pardoned or whatever, brought discredit. Regardless of anything, he was convicted at Court Martial by a panel of Sr Officers and NCOs.

IMHO you don't have these people in a position to make a decision and then subvert them. He was tried by a court martial of his peers, so that by itself should help clarify that not just did senior officials think he was guilty of at least one of the charges but also the jury.

It is not his place to do so. It is for their respective service leaders to administer UCMJ if what they are doing is against regulation. Like it or not, this particular Seal is a political figure, and is polarizing.
