The Army and Navy just sent a signal as clear as day

[The Polack MSgt]

The Navy has decided that if the convicted Seal that Trump pardoned can't be mustered out of the Navy - They will, at least be sure that he will no longer taint the Seals.

Today the US Army announced that they are protecting LTC Vindeman 24- 7 and will circle the wagons on post if needs be to keep their Soldier safe.

Safe from the political supporters of their Commander in Chief.

Sorry. I just felt the need to remind myself of that last part.

The message is plain. We will obey commands we will fulfill our obligations to the letter but we go no FARTHER than that. We will protect our own and we will continue to teach our troops that a culture of honor is worth keeping.

Well, because of this corrupt POS in charge they are displaying independence. As best they can anyway.

Letting the White House know that they are not part of the effort to defend Trump.

3. as well they should...

"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."

"...I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same;..."

...that says it all...

Orange Menace in all the nooks and crannies of the American landscape.

5. I got chills from some of the responses of LTC Vindman today, including his opening statement....

Not a platitude, but he showed more guts and loyalty and patriotism as I've ever seen of anyone testifying before a Congressional Committee, especially standing up to the republican scumbags AND the faux "commander in chief", his ultimate superior - in name only, of course.

And he did it affably with a great sense of humor, too.

8. Crystal clear.

The thing they don’t need to say is that they have determined the facts show Trump is a traitor and that the armed forces stand with the Constitution.

Most EVERYONE who has taken the oath knew they would.

Thank you for a great OP and thread, (Master) Sergeant.

9. Dump had better take heed.

I’m sure some generals have the “what if” plans in their heads at this point.

11. What a chilling thought that this is even necessary

to think about.

10. K&R Thanks for posting.

12. The Pentagon has essentially deemed the President a domestic terrorist

As Cole says at Balloon Juice, this is exactly why Vindman's family fled Ukraine:

Post can be seen here.

16. What about the SEAL who admitted actually killing the prisoner?

What about the SEAL who admitted actually killing the prisoner?

Although he cannot be prosecuted, he is an admitted war criminal.

Are they still keeping him as a SEAL?

[The Polack MSgt]

17. All other charges are dropped. The SEAL who plugged the air tube will not be charged

From the Stars and Stripes

On Aug. 1, Richardson dismissed all charges, including conduct unbecoming an officer, against SEAL Lt. Jacob Portier for having a re-enlistment ceremony for Gallagher next to the dead body of the ISIS fighter who Gallagher was accused of stabbing to death when the prisoner was being treated for injuries, according to The Associated Press. Richardson also decided not to allow any actions to be taken against Special Warfare Operator 1st Class Corey Scott, who confessed during Gallagher’s trial to killing the ISIS fighter, according to the AP. Scott had been given immunity by the prosecution to testify at the trial.

But from what I've read they will both lose their Tridents/be drummed out of the Teams.
