The atrocities allegedly committed by Navy SEAL Edward Gallagher are the product of a nation fighting unjust wars and a society steeped in “war culture,” former governor and Vietnam veteran Jesse Ventura told RT.

Gallagher, a highly decorated platoon chief, is currently sitting in pretrial detention at a naval base in San Diego. He is accused of committing multiple atrocities, including murder, in Iraq.

Gallagher’s story was recently thrust into the spotlight after a group of SEAL commandos who tried to report Gallagher’s behavior claimed they were repeatedly told by higher-ups to “stop talking about it.”

How would Ventura know anything about  a "war culture"? He punked out and refused to volunteer to go TDY to VN when he was on a UDT team in the Philippines.
