There were four Navy seals involved in the war crimes. Trump ONLY pardoned Gallagher. Gallagher appeared on Fox News and launched into a tirade attacking the former Secretary of the Navy. Trump has now made it acceptable for rank and file to go after their leaders, but ONLY IF they are Trump supporters. You can figure out for yourself the negative impact that will have on the military leader.
Thankfully most members of the armed forces are honorable people who respect their direct leaders more than anything. There is a problem when you get to the layer appointed by agent orange but otherwise absolutely nothing has changed when it comes to the allegiance of service members. They fully understand the difference between a career officer and president bone spurs. While he gained some support for more openly praising our military branches, he lost that much more with his total lack of leadership and respect for the law.. not to mention his life long cowardice. What do you think is the first thing that comes to the mind of a service member when they see him tweet firing someone or calling a purple heart recipient a traitor?
