12/2/19 Mark Perry on The Real Reason The Navy Stood Up To Trump

Mark Perry discusses what he calls "the biggest breakdown in civil-military relations since Vietnam": the controversy over the war crimes trial of Navy SEAL Edward Gallagher. By refusing to allow the Navy to discipline Gallagher in the way they intended, Trump has essentially intervened in the military justice process as, Perry thinks, a move to curry favor with his base. Perry is adamant that we really do have a problem with special forces that run around the world without accountability, pretending to fight terrorism but really just terrorizing civilian populations and committing war...
