Trump says he will not allow Navy to remove the SEAL status of controversial commando
WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday blasted the U.S. Navy’s handling of a Navy SEAL whose rank he recently restored following a court martial, saying he would not allow the service to remove his SEAL status.
“The Navy will NOT be taking away Warfighter and Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher’s Trident Pin. This case was handled very badly from the beginning. Get back to business!” Trump said in a post on Twitter. Trump last week restored his rank and pay, and pardoned two Army officers who were separately accused of war crimes in Afghanistan.
