Trump’s Pardoned War Criminal Trashes His Ex-SEAL Teammates As ‘Cowards’

Former U.S. Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher, who was pardoned by President Donald Trump after he was convicted for a war crime, posted videos on social media bashing several members of his former platoon as “cowards” and singling them out by name.

Clearly Gallagher is a man of high moral character, honesty, and rectitude . . . just like the SOB who pardoned him. Yeah, that’s the ticket . . . .

He seems nice.

It seems Gallagher has an odd perception of what courage is. Shooting a 10 year old girl or stabbing a shackled 17 year kid don’t fit in most folks perception of the trait. As for cowardice I think most would agree that taking cheap and dangerous shots at your team mates still in uniform from the safe position of retirement qualifies.

This guy is a piece of shit.

Gallagher was mentored by a coward, a person with strange hair, orange skin, long ties, short fingers, a blowhard who avoids taking responsibility for anything, a corrupt, fat slob. Guess who that might be…

Yeah… he seems sane…
Random question, does he live in a state with a red flag gun law?

Good Lord, please tell me how any military can stand behind this guy after this.

Explain it to me. Because Cognitive Dissonance or fitting a narrative just isn’t an adequate explanation.

Are we due for another remake of “Cape Fear”? It’s been nearly 30 years, and this guy would be perfect.

Not just a war criminal; he’s a dishonorable, vindictive, loathsome war criminal.

Obviously, no traumatic brain injury with Gallagher.

It was a genetic brain injury, the result of generations of rampant inbreeding.

The military didn’t. They convicted him of war crimes. The only support he’s getting is from his fellow deplorables and of course dear leader.

Trump will tweet out his support of the other members of the SEAL Team in 3 … 2 …

Correction, that’s his support of war criminal Eddie Gallagher that he will be issuing, repeating, and receiving cheers at his rallies for.

Former U.S. Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher, was most definitely - convicted for a war crime,

he was then was ill-advisedly pardoned by President Donald Trump in a calculated move intended to pander to Trump’s strident base.

But he has overturned the Military judgement, interfering where he had no place to do so. I get commander in chief, but tell me historically where a President has overturned this kind of military judgement.

And to call the Ex-SEAL teammates ‘cowards’??? WTF??? Cadet Bone Spurs casting ANY military judgement is damned near a criminal act.

The military wanted him out, and still does I’m sure. Cadet Bonespurs interfered and continues to interfere, and Gallagher is hiding behind Donny’s fat, orange ass.

It would take a Trump to look up to an Eddie Gallagher,

A yuuuuuge piece of shit. It was easy for the deplorables to say this guy was unfairly punished when it was “the libs” who were criticizing him (I know it was never true, but it could be repeated inside the bubble). It’s a little harder to say when he’s being criticized by, oh, every Navy SEAL who ever served alongside him.
