The Secretary of the Navy got booted for trying still to discipline the navy seal who had his picture taken with a dead terrorist. They wanted to boot the guy out of the Navy Seals. Trump pardoned him and restored his rank. Then the navy still wanted to boot him from the seals despite that since Trump hadn''t officially ordered that he be kept in the Seals.
What was actually happening is that the Navy had prosecuted this guy for murder for allegedly killing a prisoner. During the trial, a different sailor confessed that he had been the one who killed the prisoner. That should have been the end of it, but the Navy didn't believe the confession and decided to still punish the seal who was acquitted
When the President took action to protect this seal, he was making clear to our fighting men that they matter. The Secretary of the Navy was just carrying out his own view rather than his commanders. Good for Trump for dumping him.
