Army won't reinstate elite status of soldier given clemency by President Trump.

: He pardoned Clint Lorance, a former Army first lieutenant serving 19 years for ordering soldiers to fire on unarmed Afghan men, and he restored the rank of chief petty officer for Eddie Gallagher, a Navy SEAL who was convicted of posing with a dead body but was acquitted of more serious charges.The Army last month notified Golsteyn's attorney that it was denying a request to reinstate his Special Forces tab, a decision it reaffirmed on Thursday.

Denial of Golsteyn's request could put the Army at loggerheads with the White House. Trump's role in Gallagher's case resulted in a showdown between the White House and the Defense Department, which ultimately led to theCourtney Kube is a correspondent covering national security and the military for the NBC News Investigative Unit.

Thank you USArmy

GO ARMY!

Redundancy! If the president deems him pure & upright in defending America, its people, & the constitution. Who cares what some hater majority in the military think when the Supremacist.. I meant Supreme Commander of the republic declares you patriotic & can do NO crime.. ELITE!

The CIC can, and should order it restored.

realDonaldTrump one big problem with your admin if its true, no one should be ignoring your commands, and if they do they should be 'FIRED' the people are really tired of seeing this crap, why don't you roll out all these Generals and Secretaries in public and fire them?

👍

Respect!

You couldn't clean his character if you dipped him in bleach..He murdered innocent people and then Trump salutes him.. Disgusting.

This should wake every military member, their friends and family as to just what kind of man, impeached, draft dodger, egotistical, imposter trump really is. He’s a wannabe dictator! Blocking witnesses ...and in doing so, looking very guilty.

good...

War crimes don't make you elite bro! Go away.

Does anyone know if a pardon means everything is as if you never committed the crimes and your record is wiped away, or you just don't have to do the punishment but the felony still counts?

...

This was the right decision. Giving a hall pass to the white power symbol flashers at the Army-Navy game was not.

Trumps pardon of military personnel is just to entice the active duty soldiers so they don’t wake up & see that losing their lives for a re-campaign for trump isn’t worth it.

Reaching for the negative. Back to partisan activist ledes I see

Just waiting for the MoronInChief to tweet something

Good

Good for the Army. We do not need scum like him He needs to get a cabinet position with the Trump administration

He'll be on Fox and Friends Tuesday. That's how you get military status stuff done.

Great!

GO ARMY!!!!

GoArmy doing what is right

Good news!!!

Praise God. Pray to End this .....

I totally agree. These pardons are rediculous and should be revoked. This president is nuts. Look at the people he has pardoned.

Good!

Good work USArmy

Why should Lt. Bone Spurs have any say? He hasn’t served one damn day!

War criminals deserve a life behind bars and public scorn, not military honours.

Trump will step in and give him his tab. Give it less than 48 hours. He will fire the Secretary of the Army. He’s had 4 acting and 3 regular Secretaries in this position...Continuity...google it.

Good

Good

please stop showing older photos of these human rights criminals in uniform. Please use current photos in civilian clothes.

Hey, the title is “commander in chief” as in supreme commander. This means you listen to the chief or risk insubordination. Heads should roll here.

Good, they shouldn't.

Proud of the army for taking a stand for decency! Trump obviously has ZERO morals/ethics. That doesn’t mean branches of the military have to fall in line in that respect.

A murdering war criminal.

That'll end up in Federal court.

LOKS LUJE HE SUCKS A MENE PEN15 KNOW WTUUTUH MEAN I MEAMT COCK

It's the right decision. He disgraced himself.

Posted ad nauseam for 5 straight days. How much is ENOUGH

Trump is either ignorant or insane.

Thank goodness

Army is not a person and the person who made with that decision answers to Trump. There may be a reassignment in his future.
