In all fairness, weâve always been at war with Eurasia, so sometimes these things happen.
âŚhis eighth deploymentâŚ
This is what you canât do to people in military service.
Warpinski, who spoke to nine members of SEAL Team 7, said he was told Gallagher would fire into crowds of Iraqis. He is accused of shooting an elderly man carting a water jug in Mosul in June 2017 and a girl walking along a riverbank in the same area a month later.
These were AFTER he stabbed the 15-year old ISIS prisoner in May 2017?
You know he probably would even have gotten away with it, if he hadnât posed for those pictures. After Abu Ghraib, the military has a zero tolerance policy. For pictures.
so many issues this incident touches onâŚ
like exposure to toxins, thereâs a point where the aggregate exposure produces damage
on another score, domestically, these folks return to join the ranks of law enforcementâŚand carry the us v them thiniking when encountering civilians. âŚ
abetted by a wall of silence of brothers in arms.

He was not pressed into it, he volunteer, he loved killing people for a living.
His lawyer should be disbarred for ineptitude, all this assassin has to do is to show up in Fox & Friends and in Hannity claiming to be a hero being persecuted by the obama muslim deep state and within hour Trump will be on his side interfering with the process and promising to pardon him to the roaring applause of the patriot and christian knuckledraggers.
Maybe, maybe not. Thereâs a scene in one of the last episodes of Band of Brothers in which Maj. Winters wantonly shoots a young German soldier, rather than take him prisoner. Prolonged exposure to brutality can have dire effects on almost anyone.
He posed for a picture with the body of the teenager he killed? This sounds like the older sons of the BLOTUS who pose with the dead endangered species they kill. Hopefully this guy wasnât holding a severed body part like a trophy.
Two things, one, itâs a TV show, and two, WW2 soldiers for the most part were conscripted, they did not want to make a career of killing people.
Thatâs a mighty broad brush youâre wielding, there. By that logic, we should simply gun down all career military people. I hear Ike was just an animal.
UmmmmâŚmembers of his team testified against him and they are all liars and ridden with jealousy. Other SEAL members, who have never served with him and largely are just going by the âmythâ said THEY would serve with him and somehow they are more âcredibleâ? Itâs hard to âblameâ these guys that have made these wars their careers (8th deployment?) but the military must and should do better on the mental health frontâŚin fact, since he hasnât been released since September maybe they areâŚMy Lai and A Few Good Men are running through my head. What a horrible situation.
You might argue that warriors are a necessary evil, but evil they are. They are a class of people that make a living by inflicting violence and live off the productive people they âdefendâ.
Fuck him. Double fuck him. Heâs the reason America loses wars. We lose the people first. Theyâre going to drench this case with irrelevant âheroâ bullshit and excessive use of Navy Seal!. He posed with a corpse. That is prohibited. Lets not talk about the kid he murdered just posing with a corpse is sufficient for a DD and brig time. I hope the asshole gets it.
Whatâs with all these Navy SEAL officers doing bad/questionable stuff? Grietens, Zinke and Gallagher?
Maybe the SEALS should have created this code at the beginning?
The SEAL Code
⢠Loyalty to Country, Team and Teammate
⢠Serve with Honor and Integrity On and Off the Battlefield
⢠Ready to Lead, Ready to Follow, Never Quit
⢠Take responsibility for your actions and the actions of your teammates
⢠Excel as Warriors through Discipline and Innovation
⢠Train for War, Fight to Win, Defeat our Nationâs Enemies
⢠Earn your Trident everyday
Since the formation of the Navy Seals, 1962, America hasnât defeated any enemy. I remember the clowns from my Vietnam Service. Nothing special about them. Hollywood loves them because goofy war movies sell well.
The most persuasive thing to me is the willingness of his fellow Seals to testify against him - that is an almost unbreakable code.
As much as we owe to people who join the service, we have to also admit that there are some who join and discover that they enjoy killing. It is rare, but it is far from unique. I have personally known 2 such individuals in my life - one became a Phoenix policeman who sought out the most dangerous areas and shifts for work, the other killed himself after being dishonorably discharged. This blood lust is rare but far from unique.
I should add that many of my closest friends are ex-military and are some of the finest people I know.
If his fellow Navy SEALs think the guy was âoff the railsâ and would testify against him, he mustâve left the ârailsâ miles behind. Regular Blackwater (now Academi) material.
He was trained to be a killer. Thatâs what SEALs do. That doesnât excuse his cruelty, but SEALS are not expected to be sweethearts.
The point I am trying to make is that he wasnât snatched away from his motherâs arms and trained to be a killer, he choose to be one because thatâs what he likes.
