Nobody else in the picture was charged. Now it may be that the Navy is convinced he did the other things even though they weren't proven, but that's not how justice works. It looks like a railroad job and unequal protection under the law, and Trump is Commander in Chief.
interesting. had read about the picture but hadn’t seen it. as “war crimes” - not sure if that’s what you call this but close enough - seems pretty mild. should know better as an officer but whatever. also weird nobody else answered for it
i thought he killed a prisoner? am i mixing him up with someone else?

He was found not guilty of killing the prisoner. And another SEAL admitted on the witness stand that he did it.

A prisoner was being treated by a medic, and he walked up and stabbed him with his knife. That is not in dispute. The prosecution was bungled and thrown for a loop when the medic changed his story at the eleventh hour and said that he suffocated the prisoner that Gallagher had just stabbed so technically the medic killed him and Gallagher was acquitted of those charges.
However he has a lengthy track record of misconduct.
quote:
Another accusation was that Gallagher's sniper work during his 2017 deployment became indiscriminate, reckless, and bloodthirsty. He allegedly fired his rifle far more frequently than other snipers;[2] according to testimony, the other snipers in the platoon did not consider him a good sniper, and he took "random shots" into buildings.[1] Other snipers said they witnessed Gallagher taking at least two militarily pointless shots, shooting and killing an unarmed old man in a white robe as well as a young girl walking with other girls. Gallagher allegedly boasted about the large number of people he had killed, claiming he averaged three kills a day over 80 days, including four women.[1] Gallagher also was reportedly known for indiscriminately spraying neighborhoods with rockets and machine gun fire with no known enemy force in the region.[5]
Also threatened to kill his fellow SEAL's for holding him accountable.
quote:
A charge of obstruction of justice was brought against Gallagher for alleged witness intimidation. According to the claim, Gallagher allegedly threatened to kill fellow SEALs if they reported his actions.[2] The Navy cited his text messages as attempting to undermine the investigation, with messages sent to "pass the word on those traitors", meaning cooperating witnesses, and to get them blacklisted within the special warfare community.[5][1] This resulted in him being confined in the brig for a time with heavy restrictions on his ability to communicate, although this confinement was later lessened.[2]
It doesn't bother y'all that other SEAL's and SEAL command don't want this guy in the outfit?
