u.s. commander there s this moral ambiguity, not on college campuses, the elites, there is no moral confusion here. if a u.s. commander ever suggested or ever moved troops in a hospital to hide from the enemy, they would immediately be court-martialed. they would be taken out of the command structure of the united states military. they would be court-martialed. they would be dishonorably discharged. if just one did that. with hamas, that is their strategy. we knew from the day the attacks came, they were going to go. they were going to hide behind civilians. they were going to hide in schools. they were going to hide in the hospitals. we knew that. and it s exactly, willie, what it s exactly what s happened. again, wall street journal editorial page talking about it in their lead editorial, talking about the fact that today in gaza, hamas terrorists used the same war crime tactics that isis did in the battle of mosul. only now observers rush to apologize for it. when is
say primarily the ground-to-air fights. this is the coordination between the ground and the air and this is not what we, it s what we haven t seen on the russian side. those clear sky exercises are complimented by other exercises that u.s. army does called rapid try dent where you use your partnership with ukrainians and other allies and partners to talk about how you conduct large scale operations, bigger scale operations. things that the russians have not done. probably have not done in the last 25 years. those are critically important. it s the training. the leadership. it s the will of the fighters. the ability to defend your own country. to know what s going on. all of those things are playing on the side of ukrainians. the russians have not had any of those things. they ve had soldiers who don t know what they re doing. no training, no exercises, no large scale maneuver. the u.s. is also saying they
they want to hear. ana? let me ask you about a related development, barbara. the three navy s.e.a.l.s. pictured with officer eddy gallagher will not face the review board. tell us more about that. yeah, that s right. of course gallagher this is what really led to spencer being fired. very complicated. there was going to be a review board, an impartial military review board of all of those navy s.e.a.l.s. being able to keep their s.e.a.l. status upon retirement. the president intervened in the gallagher case over the objections of the navy secretary and said he would keep his try dent, his s. echt a.l. status no matter what. now because of all this controversy, the other s.e.a.l.s. are also not going to face a review board. the feeling inside the navy is this has become so controversial, be very tough for them to get an impartial review and the bottom line is the navy very much right now wants to move on. ana? barbara starr reporting at the pentagon, as we also
order inside the ranks too. this is going to be divisive not only in the s.e.a.l. community but in the navy. it s going to lead some senior officers think about their future and the regard they re going to be stand in front of sailors in the future and tout ethics when they now have to let this guy end this review pros and let him from his try dent. i want to say one other thing. this has been little more than a shake down by the president from the get go. the last couple of weeks we ve been talking about the potential of a commander in chief using his foreign policy power for domestic political purposes, i think we should be asking ourselves the same question here. whether the commander in chief abused his authorities which barbara s rugight, he has them. and he s getting what he wants here. gallagher is keeping his trident
