U .S.
President Donald Trump sacked his Navy
secretary on Twitter. The main reason is
that the Navy secretary did not follow
Trump’s advice regarding Navy Special
Warfare Operator Edward Gallagher. Trump
wanted Gallagher to retain his position as a
Navy Seal. Gallagher was accused of stabbing
to death a wounded fighter of the Islamic
State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) in 2017;
he was also accused of other incidents of
murder (of a schoolgirl and an elderly man),
and then of obstruction of justice. In July
2019, a military court acquitted Gallagher
of most of the charges but found him guilty
of posing with the body of the fighter who
had been stabbed to death.
