Fmr. Navy secretary on Trump's reaction to Gallagher case: 'You can't spin this in a good way. Throw accountability out the window, throw military justice out of the way, dishonor the tens of thousands of Americans who have served in both these theaters.'

Trump's repeated involvement in the case of Navy SEAL Edward Gallagher has prompted concerns about how it's affecting US standing around the globe.

Former Secretary of Navy Ray Mabus says, "You can't spin this in a good way. Throw accountability out the window, throw military justice out of the way, dishonor the tens of thousands of Americans who have served in both these theaters."

I like an honest man with integrity!

Dictator Trump wants to make sure he puts his hand in all affairs at all levels to make certain all know that he has ultimate oversight & say of his wiles. Just like Putin. And Xi. And Hitler. Impeach. Trump. NOW ! This is not a drill - This is a CRISIS. ImpeachTrumpNow

The Navy Secretary forgot who is the boss. Truman had to remind McArthur. No different. The commander rules the roost.

Trump doesn’t have standards .

Throw away accountability? If only this applied to federal buerocrats: Clinton, McCabe, Brennan, Comey, Clapper, Stzork, etc.

Trashing the “Chain of Command,” WHAT THE HELL’s WITH YOU? You damn well better follow the chain in all of the military & who would know this better than high ranking officers like, is it Spencer. Do y’all forget who the “COMMANDER IN CHIEF” is? TRUMP!

Another way to spin this: Trump is your commander in chief, your superior officer. He tells you what to do, what to think, and what to say. Don't like that? Retire. Its called the chain of command.

This thread is full of bots.

Trump2020

Every institution in the USA is being undermined and destroyed. It is not an accident but a deliberate plot at national destruction to benefit his Russian financers and leaders who have a part of his anatomy in a vise.

Trump is incompetent, and he’s damaging our country ,and our democracy!

EddieGallagherIsAWarCriminal and also trash.

Whats the diference in a video you have a héroe dog in a picture you have another hero. THIS héroes are risking there lifes for all Americans if they want to show a picture of them being succesfuly killing the BAD GAYS I Like to see that picture and videos of AMÉRICA HEROES

Trump dishonors 300 million Americans everyday. This is what a once great country looks like.

'Former Navy Secretary' The Swamp sure does make a lot of noise as it's drained. 😄

Trump thinks he's a god & can get away with everything & anyrhing.he has to be made accountable for his betrayal of American hold his enablers also.jail time for all.

stablegeniusinc The Generals should have last say. They have been there all along. Without them where will the military be?

Trump pardoning war criminal Gallagher, is a Carte Blanche for troops to commit war crimes without being held accountable. For 5x draft dodger POTUS honour is non-existent. Moral is DEAD LAWLESSNESS = NEW NORMAL Whats next? Gallagher as Trump's Secr DOD? Don't be surprised

Persiflage77 Trump never served and he does not care about military ethics or rules. He does anything he wants because he thinks he can and Republicans agree.

wavetop I it wasn't put out there by , I would RT this, because I happen to agree with the Admiral on this one, but..... It did get tweeted by , and as such, is wholly Unreliable and not worth mentioning

Gallagher should be fired just for going on Fox a disparaging his commanders.

Eddie Gallagher with a bunch of SEALs days ago.. clearly the guy is supported by them, and wanted Trump to do this 🤦‍♂️ As does every vet friend I know and most people on the vet groups I’m in online.🤷‍♂️

Toi co the giup ho.Ban het tai san cua toi cung khong thanh van de.

secnav76 is right. realDonaldTrump interferes where he has zero knowledge, zero expertise, & zero experience. Pres. BoneSpurs needs to but out.

We, and by that I mean all of the citizens of America, need to stop Trump because he is wholesaling our Government, our values, & our country to Russia. It's not the GOP or the Democrats. It is a psycho named Trump. Take a hard look at the facts, and you will see a very bad man!

Mr Secretary , what if it would have been an American serviceman's corpse that was used for photo ops ; I guess it would have been a different story , right ? The Geneva Convention would have applied to that situation ; it's illegal just as what Gallager did was illegal IAW UCMJ!

Conduct unbecoming and subversive of the chain of command. He should be stripped of his rank and summarily discharged.

Why not Hillary Clinton deleted thousands of classified emails & not a single thing happened to her. If any of the thousands of military soldiers did the same thing. That soldier would have been locked up. Lets not forget Benghazi. Lets not forget how the Dems divided our nation
