Eddie Gallagher helped make a bad week for Trump worse this week, or maybe better if you're a hard core Trumper.
As a man with zero integrity, Trump took the low road and restored Gallagher's rank and kept him as a Navy SEAL, enraging many Navy brass, including the commander of all SEAL teams. The end result was the resignation of the Secretary of the Navy, and a lot of division among the military leaders as to what was right.
Gallagher pled his case on FOX News, both alone and in the person of his attorney, appearing on the network at precisely the hour Trump watches the network. Well-known he does this.
Gallagher claims he was railroaded, and that posing with an enemy corpse didn't rise to level of punishment he was about to receive. But Gallagher did much more than just pose. He went to a hospital/clinic where a wounded enemy combatant was being treated for his wounds, and essentially murdered him there in the hospital.
At trial, another SEAL member who had either witnessed this or had direct knowledge of it, changed his testimony at the last second, claiming he had actually killed the enemy. Because he'd been granted immunity, it was a free pass for Gallagher. This medic had told investigators what had happened but changed their story under intense pressure to take one for the team.
I have zero empathy for the enemy. Go ahead and pose with a corpse...who cares? But to go in and cowardly murder the man while under treatment violates the integrity of our armed forces and the way they conduct themselves. This is the core issue, and where a zero integrity president is at odds with honorable warriors.
Trump could care less about Gallagher. It's all about Trump, and what's good for him, and what plays to his base. He made a political calculation that his base would like his actions, and disregarded the honorable military leaders who saw that a Gallagher free pass weakens both the integrity and honor of our armed services.
Tell the whole Gallagher story, Mr. Trump, and quit playing politics with our military. You go to Afghanistan and today announce peace talks with our
sworn enemy, and try and suck your way into more votes.
Zero integrity. Zero honor. An utter loser and a despicable human being.
