Defense Secretary Mark Esper fired Navy Secretary Richard Spencer Sunday over his handling of the case of a Navy SEAL who posed for a photo next to an Islamic State terrorist's corpse in Iraq, and the SEAL will be able to keep his Trident pin, a Pentagon spokesman said Sunday.
“Secretary of Defense Mark T. Esper has asked for the resignation of Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer after losing trust and confidence in him regarding his lack of candor over conversations with the White House involving the handling of Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher," Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman said in a statement Sunday. Good!

He was fired for going directly to the WH and suggesting to Trump that he could intervene. Last I heard Trump is now saying he will stay out of the matter. Of course he will probably change his mind 3 more times in the next 24 hours. Navy Secretary Richard Spencer was "fired for proposing a secret agreement with the White House" involving the case of Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher, according to a senior defense official. https://www.axios.com/eddie-gallagh...bf2b6a7-dba2-418a-ae8a-78c89a79f441.html
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

Meanwhile, the real douchbag gets to keep his little badge. This is setting a bad precedence for the military. I say this as a retired Army 1SG who earned my Ranger tab. We tend to refer to them as dirtbags and they can make it into all sorts of places. Only experience with the Navy was 12 days spent on the USS Eisenhower steaming down to Haiti. In the Army we have a few values that we try hard to uphold, one being integrity. I know my view is not popular here and I can care less, but we have service members all over the world trying to do the right thing and when dirtbags get away with doing the wrong thing, it sends a message.

I don't see how killing someone who needs killing is doing the wrong thing. Posing with a corpse might be bad form but war is hell and that seems pretty minor to me

You're ignorant of facts of this story. But don't allow me to prevent you from continuing to make a fool of yourself.

Please fill me in on the truth. Seems to me most of the dirtbags are hanging around the Pentagon these days, as Osama fired every officer that had any integrity. There's more values being upheld at a strip club than there is in the Pentagon.

So, the way I read it was that Spencer proposed that they still do the tribunal to consider taking his Trident, but that the fix would be in and he’d keep it.
Seems to me that would create even more of a stain on the Navy than Trump stepping in. Because, in the current climate, you KNOW someone would leak it and it would just be more stupid [bleep] they’d be trying to in on Trump.

We pay these guys to kill the enemy, I damn sure don’t care if they pose for trophy pictures as long as they kill the enemy.
As the father of a young Marine I don’t want him to hesitate because he’s worried about the politically correct assessment of war before he can return fire. I’d join him in pissing on their dead corpses.....
Unfortunately even retired 1st Sgt have been brainwashed by the politically correct training that’s apparently replaced or reduced the time once spent learning how to kill. We’re reaping what has been sown since “Tailhook”.

You're conveniently dismissing the Pacific war trophies that the Army 'procured' as they rolled across the Pacific in WWII - skulls, heads stuck on tanks, etc. Right?? Are you going to call those men nasty tree-cat names??
