Details are expected soon. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>By:  Navy Times staff<br \/>\nPresident Donald J. Trump has decided to restore convicted SEAL Edward Gallagher\u2019s pay grade to Chief Petty Officer, overriding a decision last week by the Navy\u2019s top admiral, both Navy Times and Fox News learned.<\/p>\n<p>Although naval officials and Navy Times discussed Trump\u2019s looming decision on Sunday, it was announced on the morning Fox and Friends show by network contributor Pete Hegseth, who said he spoke directly with the president about intervening in three war crimes cases.<\/p>\n<p>A week before Veterans Day, Trump\u2019s move clears the way to free Army 1st Lt. Clint Lorance, who was convicted on a pair of murder charges for ordering his platoon to shoot and kill three Afghan men on a motorcycle in 2012 and is serving a 19-year sentence at the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth.<\/p>\n<p>It also is poised to end the prosecution of Green Beret Maj. Matthew Golsteyn, who is accused of executing a suspected Taliban bomb maker in Helmand Province nine years ago.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Hope this is the last nail in the Obama era ROE&#8217;s coffin.
