Navy Is Said to Proceed With Disciplinary Plans Against Edward Gallagher

SGT (Join to see) - So, it sounds like, on one hand, the CinC wants people to take his tweets seriously. On the other, the White House aides don't... so... should we just take a wild guess at which opinion holds more weight?

MAJ Bryan Zeski - I certainly know my opinion, and what most rational people might think, also.
To be fair, though, the above quote, while seemingly rational and level-headed, is from Sebastian Gorka. (No longer in the Administration). If you’re not familiar with him, I’d recommend looking him up. He’s about 3 degrees wackier than Steve Bannon. Which is what makes such a rational point of view so unexpected.

SGT (Join to see) - Right, so... why would we take his opinion over what CinC said? Therefore, Tweets should be orders and policy, right?

MAJ Bryan Zeski - hey, a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while, right? Even crazy folks like Gorka can say something intelligent from time to time. To answer clearly, though. No, tweets alone should not be considered orders and policy.

If they were, it would be the official policy of the United States that not an inch of border wall would be built until Mexico paid for it. Instead, the military is somehow now paying for a wall.

Tweets are just tweets.

MSgt Michael Bischoff That's the question of the day, I think. CAN Tweets - or public social media - BE direct orders? That would make things... interesting.

What’s worse is this idea that a president should always impose his will in legitimate UCMJ proceedings. From saying in a tweet he’ll consider pardoning the individual before court martial proceedings are conclued to pardoning serious war crimes and undermining laws of warfare conduct in the process So sad.

Even the president has one.
