Stabbing a defenseless teenage captive to death. Picking off a school-age girl and an old man from a sniper’s roost. Indiscriminately spraying neighborhoods with rockets and machine-gun fire.

Navy SEAL commandos from Team 7’s Alpha Platoon said they had seen their highly decorated platoon chief commit shocking acts in Iraq. And they had spoken up, repeatedly. But their frustration grew as months passed and they saw no sign of official action.

So what?! Some SEALs believe we should follow the Geneva Convention and some don’t. ISIS shows no mercy. We show no mercy.

The only questionable example you gave was the girl he shot but would still need way more details.

I’ll preface this by saying I don’t know a lot about this story prior to entering this thread but your quote is a little misleading. It does say they spoke with investigators about it but many are backing out of testifying. There seems to be a lot of uncertainty in the case against him. One thing is for sure though, his case needs to go to trial and he probably should at minimum be forced to retire.

The most serious allegation against Gallagher, 39, is a premeditated murder charge in connection with the stabbing death of an unarmed and seriously wounded Islamic State fighter near the Iraqi city of Mosul in 2017.

How terrible. He killed an enemy fighter.

All Chief Gallagher's fellow SEALs (as in the guys who were in his unit and deployed with him) say the guy was a psychotic PoS,
Well it turns out that wasn't quite true, now was it?

That question could well have been issued in the closing argument, referencing the military jury, and directed at the prosecution.

As an aside, Gallagher's wife was stellar throughout the ordeal. She is one tough, classy, well-spoken woman.
