A jury found decorated Navy SEAL Edward "Eddie" Gallagher not guilty Tuesday on almost all charges he was facing, including murder and attempted murder, in the killing of a teenage Islamic State member in Iraq.

Gallagher was accused of fatally stabbing a 15-year old ISIS fighter to death in 2017 and posing with the corpse for photos. He faced seven criminal charges total-- six of the most serious charges included premeditated murder...

Hopefully, charges will be filed against Joe Warpinski for withholding evidence and obstruction of justice.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

For months the news we were being fed was that of ISIS fighters burning victims in cages...or drowning them in cages.

To put restrictions on our Special Forces members in the middle of a war zone is ridiculous...even if he methodically murdered this POS.

I find this "not guilty" verdict comforting.

@DCPatriot

SEALS are NOT "Special Forces" members. They are primarily "SEAL Team members,and a part of the Special Warfare/Special Operations Forces capabilities of the US Military.

The ONLY "Special Forces" members of the US Military are the US Army Special Forces,and they wear Green Berets as a part of their dress uniform,as well as with their fatigue uniforms when not deployed to combat zones. In combat zones they generally don't wear their Green Berets on operations because it tends to draw enemy fire.

Come on, Pete. They used to call cars, 'Horseless Carriages".

When only a fraction of applicants qualify to become "Seals"...that's SPECIAL FORCES.

You might as well call a car a horse in that case,because words mean nothing.

They should have awarded medals and reward money for American soldiers who killed any ISIS scum....in any situation. If one side, ISIS,  chooses to put up the black flag, they should expect no quarter from the good guys.

Considering the narratives and agendas of our "intelligence" servicesof late, I am hardly surprised this one would consider his job to be, frame the guy.

Is it common to avoid army issue ammunition and use
frangeable ammo instead?

@Slide Rule

No. The military doesn't even have frangible ammo  in their supply system. If anyone in the US military is using it,they bought it themselves.
