Navy Secretary Richard Spencer is out of a job after disagreeing with President Donald Trump over the case of Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher. The Navy had tried to kick out Gallagher from the SEAL force and reduce him in rank after he was convicted of misconduct by court martial for posing for a photo with a dead ISIS captive, among other offenses. But Trump disagreed with the verdict. What will be the impact on military discipline? Host Marco Werman speaks with Paul Rieckhoff, founder of IAVA, the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. Plus, The World’s Chris Woolf brings us reaction from our community of veterans.
