In this partisan environment, people were quick to judge President Donald J. Trump’s reinstatement of anchors to my brother, Special Warfare Operator Chief Edward “Eddie” Gallagher.
Out of the woodwork came former military attorneys, indignant Pentagon officials and your typical Washington establishment types.
Their views were mainly the same. The president’s actions were a moral hazard! What message will it send our troops? What of good order and discipline?
I have one question for these people: Where in the hell were you the past year and a half?

Everyone should have a brother such as this.
One for speaking out, or the other that steps up.
and… Five more years of excellence with President Donald J. Trump.
Destroy the will to fight among warfighters in Western countries and the ‘progressives’ win.
It is amazing that young men still sign their lives away for ingrates. Liberals and immigrants don’t give a crap if a Western soldier is killed, on the contrary – they are likely satisfied when they hear about our combat deaths.
Not even our Defence Minister’s fellow Sikhs in Brampton wear poppies, and they’re supposedly all into military service, but maybe that’s only when they’re being Liberal “soldiers with guns in our streets”… like during their Sikh day parade
All liberal communist progressive socialists and their voters are disgusting people, and they know it, but don’t care, all human beings are only a means to an end to those who believe they should be masters of the universe.
I totally agree with everything you stated, except for………….
“ All liberal communist progressive socialists and their voters are disgusting people, and they know it,”
The problem as I see it is they don’t know it. Their entitlement and lack of self awareness, have them believing that they are the righteous and , as you so eloquently stated, have divine right to be Masters of the Universe.
Thanks Phil for speaking up, don’t stop or back down!
Cheers
Wonder if VAdm Norman is following this.
The Commander in Chief not only doing what is right but also doing what is his prerogative. Those buffoons seem to have forgotten the chain of command and just who is at the very top.
This is as a result of all the America-hating soy boys Jug Ears McFoodstamp inserted into the bureaucracy of the military. It also manifests itself when targeting terrorists for drone attacks. These guys have to check with 50 layers of lawyers before they can fire. Sickening and despicable.
Bang on!
And it spilled over into the Canadian military.
The SEAL Medic that actually killed the ISIS Jihadi Fighter killed him BECAUSE they were required to turn the wounded bastard over to the Iraqi Defense forces which would “torture, rape, and kill him.” He murdered him as a mercy killing, but was not and cannot be charged because the NCIS granted him total immunity in their biased attempt to convict Gallagher.
Why were they required to turn him over? Because our SCOTUS ruled in Boumediene v. US. that illegal combatants captured on some distant battlefield have all the rights and privileges of US Citizens arrested while walking the streets of America. Imagine trying to develop a case or even preserve evidence for a trial while fighting on a battlefield?
AG Barr made a speech to the Federalist Society where he discussed that very issue.
Kate covered AG William Barr’s speech two weeks ago. The part about Boumediene is towards the end.

Barr basically says we cant’ take prisoners if you read the speech. So I guess we have to shoot them rather than let them go it seems.
I was in the Army 4 years and nearly 3 of them overseas. I never saw a military lawyer. I’m guessing they probably have more lawyers today than warriors.
“The message your brass and bureaucracy is sending you is clear. You are disposable. When it comes to their careers or their political motives, they’ll send you to war and then railroad you, drag you through the mud, and sing songs of sanctimony while you and your family hang.”
And what is that political motive?
Supporting the plan of the People’s Republic of China and their western business partners to dominate the world before this generation has passed away.
The wars in the Middle East for the past 20 years have been about keeping oil flowing to China and keeping it profitable to outsource north America’s industrial base there.
As I noted in an earlier thread, Trump understands that the job of the armed forces of the United States is not to die for their country, much less any other. It is to make sure any enemy daft enough to make war on the United States is beaten so badly that it never dares make that mistake again.
That is why the Chinese and the globalists fear Trump so much. Trump has repeatedly insisted on an explanation why the United States’ nuclear arsenal must not be used, because Trump understands that the hydrogen bomb is self-evidently the most straightforward way of removing China’s threat to western civilization once and for all. The generals have never given him a convincing one.
The Chinese are determined to destroy Trump at any price, because if they fail, Trump will be only too happy to destroy them—and ruin the globalists who made trillions exporting American jobs to boot.
Your teenage brat’s iTurd will become much more expensive. I can live with that. So can President Trump—and so can any working-class American who will once again enjoy job opportunities in a thriving manufacturing industry, and not as cannon fodder.
“make sure any enemy daft enough to make war on the United States is beaten so badly that it never dares make that mistake again.”
key word: daft.
much as I disagree with some of your posting AC, THIS is a gem.
daft.
no kidding. what a history the American military boasts. BOASTS.
aka wtf was that brilliant flash on the horizon, right around hiroshima.
oh, there’s another one in the vicinity of nagasaki.
game, set, match !!!
oooooooh it was a MATCH alright, set fire to an entire city in 1/1,000,000 of a second match.
it’s the TECHNOLOGY that pours out of a FREE ENTERPRISE SYSTEM whereby the fruits of inspiration, brains and
years of hard work are not STOLEN by the state.
which is then utilized by the likes in this case, by their military for the express purpose of DEFENDING
said socio-economic structure. see how dat works folks?
God Bless the American military and God Bless the American taxpayer who pays for it all !!!
And when Obama commuted Chelsea Manning’s 35 year sentence it was termed as “courageous”.
Touche.
My thoughts exactly Marc.
And this happens here equally and as well.
With Liberals in power..?? “shit on the military” is once again, back in vogue.
Donald Trump is a nice man. I think he should have fired Swamp Creature Spencer for insubordination.
MSNBC used a picture of the White Nationalist Richard Spencer when they reported the story.
aaaaaaand how many votes for POTUS Trump will THIS translate to?
lots.
lots and lots. mebbe even the winning margin. heh heh heh.
we are ALL flawed imperfect humahns.
I have watched and studied US presidents, live, since JFK and in formal setting all the way back back back to George.
The Donald is doing a remarkable job considering all those rodents nipping at his heels.
