    War crimes trial: President Trump ordered the military to strip medals from the prosecutors who tried the case of a Navy SEAL who was acquitted of killing a captured Islamic State fighter.

    Has the military adopted the latest grade school ethos of “everybody gets a gold star and games have no score?”

    Good on Trump for spoiling their party.

    There is an underlying issue not addressed---it is, I believe, an illegal order---it is completely outside of the USMJ. Justified or not, it needs to be respective of our laws.
