Just appoint him SecNav

Eddie Gallagher is back in the news. The Seal hero who was persecuted for a vast array of crimes but found guilty only of posing with a dead enemy was ordered restored to his former rank by President Trump. Acting in defiance, the Rear Admirer, Green, is now attempting to remove Gallagher's Trident pin and boot him from the Navy.
Who does Green and his boss, Gilday work for? As far as I remember, the Constitution makes the President, Donald Trump, Commander in Chief of the military. So, by my reckoning, that would mean their decisions are insubordination. In the words of a former star of "the Apprentice", You're fired" would be a logical next step for our prez.
Better yet though, take a play from the Bible. Take the stone the builders rejected, Gallagher, and make him chief of the corner, Secretary of the Navy. Then we would have one person at the Pentagon who has our President's back, and the nation's best interests.
