US Defense Secretary fires Navy chief over Iraq misconduct case

United States Defense Secretary Mark Esper fired the US Navy's top official on Sunday over his handling of the case of a Navy SEAL who was convicted of battlefield misconduct in Iraq but later won the support of President Donald Trump.
Richard Spencer was sacked over his handling of a high-profile war crimes case in which Edward Gallagher was acquitted of murdering a captured and wounded ISIL fighter but was convicted of illegally posing with the man’s corpse.
The controversy pitted the Navy commander against President Donald Trump.
Al Jazeera's Gabriel Elizondo reports from Washington, DC.

I wrote a long comment ,i don't let it ,i don't need to go to jail because i want peace for everybody ,nor putting my family in danger or whatever ....Of course i believe in God ,in His protection ....Too bad it was honestly peace and love ,but it was also criticism against Trump ,i have to judge myself ,i'm not God ,who will judge everybody ,and Donald too ....Abraham Lincoln was maybe the best president of the USA ,go figure why the others don't follow his path ,but that is what we are : all different .....But a little smile for Robert de Niro ,a little humble kiss on his foreback ....Peace
