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

I’ll speak very candidly, and as correct as I can while respecting you’re very blatantly obvious political affiliation, while also challenging your knowledge and reading of regulations.

What have the 3 officers done that President Trump would use his power as convening Authority to charge them with?

And just what would providing credibility have to do with that?

Because that would indicate retaliation, which is part of something that we are trying to eliminate from the Armed Services. You should be familiar with that if you pay attention during Sharp each quarter and year.

Misuse of power and retaliation will further undermine UCMJ.

As far as I’m concerned UCMJ has not lost credibility. It’s the punishments being handed out that have lost credibility when they get washed away with commanders or presidents over reaching into it.

“Handle at the lowest level” should be very familiar to you by now.

There’s no need to waist a presidents time with a job that O-3 and higher officers can accomplish.

I would in the future advise to not through names of General Officers out so publicly if you plan to stay in for a while. You never know where you will go or who you will have to answer to

If a President clears any military member of anything, then that is the final word. That is IAW Law. A President's military experience (or lack thereof) is immaterial to the Law. We might wish the President follow the SECDEF's advice, but it doesn't always work out that way, and we should be thankful for that, even if we don't like the results.

TRUMP had 6 deferment during Veitnam. Told his children he would disown them if the joined. He has no concept of duty an honor. He never should have intervened in the first place with the original court decision.. please let the military police its self in this situation. Trump made this political it never should be

Okay Trump should not have gotten involved at all in this. He has way better things to do than get involved with UCMJ actions. The out come of E-7 Edward Gallagher were brought on by his own actions and he should be held accountable. More importantly what happened to the Gallagher's Commanding Officer who was in the picture with him and others? Trump should have stayed out of it and let the COC handle it. He was busted to a CPO 1st class. That was a UMCJ decision. Then if Gallagher was smart he should have just submitted his paperwork for Retirement and disappeared from the media. UMCJ is not a Presidential decision. JMO

The CINC has no reason to get involved with this If the CINC can't trust the COC to do what they should be doing the whole system is toast. This is not someone that works Directly with the CINC.

This is the third most moronic question I've seen on Rallypoint.

He was cleared by Trump (who's trying to make points with conservatives, but you're blind to that).. Not military justice.

I don't think the President knows what UCMJ is.

President Trump is the Soldiers' President. The Generals are sewer rats!

I agree with you John.
