Leaked video interviews of Navy SEALs paint a clear picture of Gallagher

Especially given the bullshit Obama put them through with his faggot rules of engagement.
Isn't it interesting that the people saying we shouldn't be at war are the same people defending the war criminal and Don the Con?
I hope they all rot in hell together.

Why do you hate a free and just society so much.....or is this just a tantrum because things aren't going your way?
Doesn't the military have a code of silence, kind of like the police with their Blue Wall? Isn't it telling that so many SEALs were willing to breach this wall?
Does this not mean anything to any of you?

He was found guilty of posing for a photo right?
That was the full extent of what he was convicted of correct?
And problematically someone else confessed to the murder right?
And historically, isn't there a fair amount of material re soldiers hating on their boss/commanding officer, to the point of murder even? (see fragging)
Playing some devils advocate above, but I believe we have already covered all this material re this exact case haven't we?

You seem to forget that here in the 20th Century, all law is "living" law, just like the Constitution, and if Trumby feels that it says a certain thing well he's the President and you're not.
When you get elected you can interpret as you please.
Looks like a lot of his fellow servicemen were in on 'the conspiracy' to set him up 
'Gallagher also attracted controversies and investigations, although few formal reprimands. He was the subject in an investigation of the shooting of a young girl in Afghanistan in 2010, but was cleared of wrongdoing in it.[9] He also allegedly tried to run over a Navy police officer with his car in 2014 after being detained at a traffic stop.[8] By 2015, Gallagher had acquired a reputation as someone who was more interested in fighting terrorists and less interested in compliance with rules.[8] In his eighth deployment in 2017, Gallagher's aggressive side was seemingly amplified, especially during the Battle for Mosul, wherein the US force mission was intended to be more advisory than direct combat. Gallagher was the subject of a number of reports from his fellow SEAL team members of actions not in keeping with the rules of war, but initially these reports were dismissed by the SEAL command structure.[9] Only after the reports were escalated outside the SEALs were they acted upon and directed to the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS).[8] On September 11, 2018, Gallagher was arrested at Camp Pendleton and charged with premeditated murder, attempted murder, obstruction of justice, and other offenses.[5] On October 18, Lieutenant Jacob Portier of Gallagher's platoon was also charged with failing to properly escalate to his superiors in the chain of command as well as destroying evidence.[10][8] Gallagher pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him.
Criminal allegations[edit]
Gallagher was accused of multiple offenses during his final deployment to Iraq and during the Battle for Mosul. The most prominent accusation and the best-attested to was the murder of a prisoner of war, a war crime.[8] A captured young fighter of the Islamic State (also known as ISIL, ISIS, and Daesh) was being treated by a medic. According to two SEAL witnesses, Gallagher said over the radio "he's mine" and walked up to the medic and prisoner, and without saying a word killed the prisoner by stabbing him repeatedly with his hunting knife. Gallagher and his commanding officer, Lieutenant Jake Portier, then posed for photographs of them standing over the body with some other nearby SEALs. Gallagher then text messaged a friend in California a picture himself holding the dead captive's head by the hair with the explanation "Good story behind this, got him with my hunting knife.”[8][11]
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;[4] 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.[8]
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.[4] 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.[8][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.[4]
Gallagher was also charged with nearly a dozen lesser offenses.[4] Some of these charges, such as flying a drone over a corpse, were dismissed during preliminary hearings.[12]
According to the original Navy prosecutor Chris Czaplak, "Chief Gallagher decided to act like the monster the terrorists accuse us of being. He handed ISIS propaganda manna from heaven. His actions are everything ISIS says we are."'

Nope, just a shred of decency. Most people grow out of worshipping war criminals by 16, how long till this guy kills someone or abuses his family?
I've seen it all before and no there isn't a code of silence. The military has a process that everyone is trained to use..... and it is sometimes abused. There are more guys that were deployed with him that say he did nothing wrong. As in life, there are going to be people who are part of a group that aren't happy with leadership.
ALSO, you saw snippets of a biased hatchet job. I suspect the edited videos aren't telling the whole story. Given The NY Times history of embellishing the truth (and hating jews) I'm going to go out on a limb and guess there's much more to these interviews. Unless you were there you know jackshit.
One of the tattletales admitted to murder.....the same murder Galloper was found innocent and acquitted of. You're letting your emotions confuse you again.
