President Trump criticized the Navy for the handling of Chief Gallagher's war crimes trial.  Okay, fine.  Now he is making the call on whether the Chief should be a SEAL.

As a former submarine officer, I don't get it.  It was a mistake.  Here's the well written opinion of a retired admiral that I agree with.  As a voter in 2020, I say:  Mr. President, get back to business!
