Military Service JAGs Fired by Secretary Hegseth For a Reason | The Rob Maness Show EP 488

That’s the question, what is the reason all three of the service’s top lawyers were removed in the first DOD Friday night firing? We’re going to work through the answer very specifically today because there is a lot going on with the weaponization of the military legal system. Yes, I said it and you shouldn’t take my words lightly. I’m someone who was privileged to wield court martial authority and supervise JAG offices as a senior commander. I once had absolute faith in the JAG corps and our system of military justice. But something went wrong. I’m sure it happened over time, including when I was in the service, but the public culmination of the disaster was when whistleblowers revealed our troops in America’s military had their rights stripped from them, we see open law breaking by commanders, and a strong record of really bad legal advice by the JAG Corp to Commanders. These actions have resulted in estimated nearly 100,000 service members being forced to leave doing what they love, members who’ve been physically devastated and are not being compensated for those injuries, and multiple unintended consequences damaging recruiting, retention, and most importantly our readiness to fight and win America’s wars. I am honored to have two guests today to help us understand why this needed to be done. Commander Rob Green is an active-duty Navy Commander, author of the book Defending the Constitution behind Enemy Lines, of the Declaration of Military Accountability, and was recently honored by President Trump with a Defenders of Freedom award! My other guest is retired CAPTAIN Dan McCarthy, a USNA graduate, a Surface Warfare Officer who was selected for the Law Education Program, is a graduate of Duke Law School w/Honors and graduated LLM George Washington Law w/Highest Honors. He served in the US Navy JAG Corps including tours as Trial Counsel in multiple field commands around the world, as Executive assistant to the Judge Advocate General as Special Assistant for Legal to SECNAV and as a Commanding officer.
