So now its okay for ACTIVE DUTY to disrespect chain of command. This a great example on the type of precedent the jack ass in chief creates when guilty war criminals are pardoned

I'm going to be 100% honest-I don't know Chief Gallagher; the guy may be a complete malfunction of a human being-he may be a ruthless, undisciplined "loose cannon". He may also be someone whose life has been turned upside down, shaken, and thrown out on the front lawn for all to see and comment upon. He may also be a combat leader whose been singled out among who knows how many other individuals (including superior officers) for scrutiny after years of having a "blind eye" turned. I won't attempt to defend misconduct, but neither am I surprised he may not have "no comment" regarding those who pursued action against him. I think the sooner the Chief returns to civilian life (and undoubtedly a lucrative one), and the sooner the Navy gets back to working on more exigent issues; the better.

We don't know how many tours Chief Gallagher has made into danger areas. I've seen many of the troops coming back after repeated rotations with severe PTSD. They work and carry on daily activities but to me they look like walking zombies (no disrespect). They seem to have lost the joy of life. For the last 19 years the military has been called upon to fight a dirty war with no end in sight. Sooner or later anyone in the military can be broken. As a current civilian I pray everyday for an end to this continued conflict that is taking our brightest and best and putting them in harms way. Many of them have been sent on four or more tours. Now when President Trump tried to bring the military out of Syria the left went ballistic. How can we ever stop sending our young men and women to war with that kind of disunity in our nation.

Once we broke good order and started airing our dirty laundry in public, everyone was going to do it including Gallagher.
Unfortunately at some future date the military is going to have to make some examples of people doing this sort of thing to stop it from continuing. Until then we're going to have a bit of a mess.

MSG Tom Earley - I can understand he may see it that way. Buuut ... I suspect a lot of people are angry about their interactions with the UCMJ. Going to media outlets to complain about it while on active duty isn't something that normally is allowed even if you feel you are getting the big green (or blue in the case) wienie.

Capt Gregory Prickett - It could be, I admit that I haven't looked deeply into his past. It is not uncommon for a traumatic event to start someone down a different path.

So when Vindman jumped the chain of command lefties thought it was no problem. Now that Trump reached down in HIS chain of command everybody on the left has a cow. I am not sure of all the circumstances but I am certain of one thing, Gallagher is finished. The military was politicized a long long time ago. There do seem to be problems with elite forces and I am not sure where the fault lies. Is Gallagher a fall guy or an undisciplined troop? Well Gallagher wouldn’t be the only one. Seals killed a Special Forces member. Drugs and drug abuse have turned up etc.

When we reduce anyone to a single identifier, we lose so much of who they are.

1SG John Faircloth - As you know, Trump goes after anyone who challenges him. It is part of the defensive triad: deflect, distract, and denigrate the fact-tellers.
And those of us who served learned that we can disobey and order if we have reason to believe it immoral/illegal. Which includes the C-in-C. As enlisted personnel we do declare an oath to obey our C-inC. This does not apply to officers, however.
