what do you think about the president trying to parden that navy seal accused of war crimes

That those I spoke with made an exception in Trump’s case is telling, and much of what they told me is deeply disturbing. Cognizant of the special authority they hold, high-level officers epitomize respect for the chain of command, and are extremely reticent about criticizing their civilian overseers. Military officers are sworn to serve whomever voters send to the White House. They come from different branches of the military, but I’ll simply refer to them as “the generals.” Some spoke only off the record, some allowed what they said to be quoted without attribution, and some talked on the record. All but one served Trump directly the other left the service shortly before Trump was inaugurated. Among the officers I spoke with were four of the highest ranks-three or four stars-all recently retired. To get a sense of what serving Trump has been like, I interviewed officers up and down the ranks, as well as several present and former civilian Pentagon employees.
