Jesus Christ. NO ONE is saying he didn't deserve to die, or that he wasn't the enemy. Enough with all that bullshit. You can't expect warriors in combat to be angels, and everyone knows how the Geneva Convention makes them go out of their way, unnecessarily at times. He shouldn't have gone to prison for first degree murder. That being said, if we haven't abolished or ratified the Geneva Convention yet, what apparently happened was he shot him, and then went up close to knife him. Dont get triggered by this, but some people see that as cold blooded, a sadistic satisfaction, rather than hot blooded war killing. Still doesn't deserve a murder sentence. He was convicted of posing with the body. Hes bloodthirsty, but it didn't go to far where he is a real danger to people on our side or to commit mlre outright true unjustified acts of violence. Then again they cant just pretend the Geneva Convention doesn't exist. Then his buddy said it wasn't Gallagher, but that he strangled him, out of mercy so Iraqis wouldn't do worse to him.

Update for anyone Eddie strolled out of court a free man he was only found guilty of appearing in a inappropriate picture and had already spent more than double the time before the trial. The case against Eddie killing the isis soldier took a massive blow when the prosecutors main witness said on the stand that he not Gallagher killed the fighter buy plugging his breathing tube, a mercy killing so the fighter wouldn’t be tortured to death by Iraqi forces

[@thetute59]

@Yeshua is Lord. Eddie was only found guilty for posing in an inappropriate picture. However, he already spent so much time that he served his sentence twice (and therefore was free to go). One witness later testified that eddie didnt kill the isis fighter at all. The witness apparently said that he himself (the witness) killed the ISIS-fighter. He did so in order to prevent the ISIS-soldier being tortured to death by iraqi forces. Basicly a mercy killing. Hope this helps.

As a Marine and combat veteran I believe and taking it to the bad guy. Big time- our job is to break shit and kill people not nation building. We are warriors for our nation and we have to do the right thing for our teams and fellow servicemen and women. That said, I'd like to point out (not making excuses) war sucks and it should suck. The "greatest Generation" did some pretty awful things, things far worse than anything I have heard that this SEAL was supposed to have done and it worked. We didn't revert into some awful nation we didn't become barbaric. I worked closely with many teams and I have my beliefs of what went on but I will keep those thoughts to myself now and always. I wasn't a SEAL having friends there and working very closely with them doesn't mean a lot they fight their war and I will not disparage them ever. I'd like to thank all of them and anyone reading these comments that served and you Donut for serving our nation. 7:51 is all you need to know. I had a mom once give me the best medal for valor I ever got. She wrote me a card and it said (I have it framed right here) "My Sean told me stories bout you and I hated you. I thought you were the devil sent to harm my son and I was very scared for him around you. However, he loved you and always defended how mean you were. I just spoke to him on the phone (as we were rotating back) and he said if it wasn't for you and how hard you were none of you would have made it. I love you now and if you ever make it to Missouri you will always have a home with us." Love Mom. Nothing given to me by command or anyone for that matter meant as much.

[@yorhajihadi1477]

Actually there has been a set of rules and regulations reguarding prisoners of war within islam for over 1400 years now. We do have rules of engagement & have historically avoided civilian/ non combatant bloodshed, and the prophet himself did dislike utilizing catapults in warfare due to harm of civilians, (as opposed to night raids which is different) In any case, yeah we have rules of engagement, currently some or most prominent islamic groups don't follow them as they should be or have simply ignored them. In today's contemporary warfare it is fully possible to follow all islamic rules of warfare, however it would make some operations difficult or the global effort a bit more murky, for example if a US civilian who is muslim and supports islam is capable of targeting HVT's such as drone operators, various Defense contractors & organizations, house intelligence committee members, those who propagate AUMF's etc etc etc, ( people DIRECTLY involved in the war effort against islam) how much information is required before engaging a target? Example: X person is in the national guard & thus a member of the US military, is such a person a legitimate target as a open combatant or are they simply a mercenary who isn't directly fighting islam but is acting in his/her financial interests and hasn't actually seen combat or targeted muslims directly, same example applied to house committee members, various organizations, etc etc. The thing is this war on terror is something that is being fought on multiple fronts in complicated ways and it's difficult outside of a battlefield to actually designate an individual as a legitimate target without actually fully researching the person and finding out if they have personally been invovled.

But yeah, keep being a war criminal apologist.

@@n1ght_243 My apologies, but I just came across this video and 90% of the comments are a bunch of disgusting shit praising this. You could see why I might make that assumption with your comment too.

[@user-qz9vm4tx4e]

@@rapcorerocks Yeah, except there is no evidence of the things you stated, except for the testimonies of bunch of vindictive and petty junior SEALs who were treated roughly by the Chief. He kept his trident, rank, and retired with full medical benefits and pension. Imprisonment and courts marshall isn't the way you treat a soldier who gave 20 years of his life fighting terrorists, because some NCIS arsehole tried to make a career, and bunch of petty idiots were butthurt.

This has happened for decades since after WWI, not WWII. Anyone that has spent a full career in the military has witnessed someone experience this types of actions, if not themselves.

It's not just your military pal, nearly everything in your country is becoming like this.

[@everythingviral972]

Apparently he sent a photo from his phone to a friend with a picture of the alleged "victim" with a caption that read, "got him with my hunting knife". They seized his shit. That would be a some pretty damning evidence. I hope he gets life, but he'll probably get off with MAYBE a reduction in rank. That would put a huge dent in his pension. We can hope.

If I had anything to say to someone I had served with I would say it to his face. If we threw hands then so be it. Claiming the 5th is a punk ass move

Hate to feed the stereotype, but wen I was in the military (just retired last year), millennial would get butt hurt over the smallest things, then complain in social media about how they were being brutalized and abused (zero evidence provided of course). I hate to say this, but these snowflakes seem to be more interested in protecting their feelings than our borders.

If the limit on firing a Gustaf is 6 per day, that seems like a reasonable complaint. Also weird that text he sent “good story with this one, got him with my knife” isn’t it. After a million news stories of SEALs strangling Green Berets, stealing money, running drugs, and mutilating corpses the hero worship and benefit of the doubt you still give them reveals the mind of a Labrador hard at work

As an Ex-Navy Corpsman that was field-med 8404, I can confirm the bull that gets thrown around when others feelings get hurt. We've had plenty of "investigations" from NCIS and upper command at Quantico. I feel bad for the chief as I've worked under a few chiefs that had his mentality about work and finishing the mission. I've been following the investigation and a lot of the statements don't add up and I feel like it's another good man getting the short straw. Good job Donut for keeping this factual and unbiased.

Just wanted to point out that one step in treating a wounded trauma patient with decreased level of consciousness is to "expose" or remove clothing to look for other injuries. That's probably why he removed the pants.

Thanks Donut, for the informative review of SEAL Chief Gallagher’s case. Very eye opening on how the military justice system works.

Honestly i wouldnt even care if he did stab the ISIS fighter. Its war and this man needs to be celebrated not arrested.

@J D I sure as hell do. Guy capped himself before facing trial

[@majormissile5596]

@J D Killing Hitler alone wouldn't have stopped WWII, it took the allies invading germany from all sides to actually stop them. Kill hitler before the war, someone else would take his place and do the exact same thing. Kill him during it, you weaken the axis command, but they had plenty of other people at that point to take his place. Hitler orchestrated alot of it, but once he had done that, almost everyone in Germany was on board with the Nazi ideology. Our enemies are not people, they are dumbass ideologies that people adopt. Of course, putting the boot down on ISIS is important. We need to show these people that the evil they commit will be met with force. Keep this up, and a lot of them won't wanna fight anymore.

[@iski4317]

By killing captured fighters, you‘re making ISIS‘ case for them. What makes you better than them if you follow the rules just as little as they do?

Hey, Donut Operator thanks for the run down. I spent 25 years @ JAG school. Admiral Crawford was my boss but as a civilian I had very few words with him. I find it interesting to have these higher ups putting their nose where it doesn't belong.
