35. To Fat Donnie, "no quid pro quo" is more important than"esprit de corps."

Actually, he probably doesn't know what either term means. He definitely has no clue how important esprit de corp is in the military. Gallagher may be reinstated, but the other SEALs can shun him, and he still gets regular reports from his commander evaluating his performance. He should just drop out, write his book and go to RW conventions. Maybe Fox will hire him as a military expert.

I hope the Navy sticks to their guns. dewsgirl Nov 2019 #1
