The Navy then attempted to remove Gallagher's SEAL Trident pin as punishment, but the president objected and restored Gallagher's rank. When the Navy continued to pursue disciplinary action, despite Trump's objection, Spencer was asked to step down by the Pentagon.
I don't know if it was stupidity, ego, or arrogance that caused Spencer and other people to continue attempting to punish a warfighter that President Trump had taken a personal interest in protecting, but it cost one person his job, and it should cost others their jobs as well.
Kurt Schlichter agrees.
The commander-in-chief made clear his intent. Then, when he found out the Navy was defying him, he expressed his intent again, and they still drove on with their defiance. And then the press flacks for the Navy issued their passive aggressive statement and pretended that his expression of intent did not constitute a clear and unequivocal order.
Fire them all.
Yep. Read the whole thing to get some context on his take, but there's lots of folks who need to be fired.
