Trump's decision to support Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher appeared to be the last straw for Rear Adm. Collin Green.
Special Warfare Rear Adm. Collin Green, the US Navy admiral responsible for the service's special-operations forces, will step down from his position in September, The Intercept reported over the weekend.
Green in November ordered a peer evaluation of Gallagher, who had been demoted and charged with war crimes, including the murder of an ISIS prisoner of war and the shooting of two people in Iraq in 2017. Gallagher was acquitted of those counts but convicted of a lesser charge of posing for a picture with the dead ISIS fighter.
"There's a long tradition in the military," Timothy Parlatore, Gallagher's civilian attorney, told Navy Times."You don't rebel. You resign."
