I believe 'Hound' is right. I spent 7 years in the Navy as an enlisted man, 1 off the coast of Vietnam. The US military holds itself to a higher standard than many other of the world's military organizations. When an enlisted member or officer disregards the Uniform Code of Military Justice there can be severe consequences. One of those consequences is the lack of trust and respect of those officers and enlisted members who surround you. I wonder what the other 150+ SEALs who have lost their Tridents (because of much lesser offenses) feel like right now? Are they going to get theirs back?
As far as 'Phil's pst about Obama relieving 197 officers, you have to look at some of the offences. "Stated grounds range from "leaving blast doors on nukes open" to "loss of confidence in command ability" to "mishandling of funds" to "inappropriate relationships" to "gambling with counterfeit chips" to "inappropriate behavior" to "low morale in troops commanded."" Article does not say that any of these officers were demoted only that they were relieved of their commands.
