I’m sure you are familiar with the recent situation concerning CPO Gallagher and the ordeal he suffered at the hands of some Hollier than thou attorneys and arm chair warriors. You may be interested in the underlying story………

Rough men versus soft lawyers
When it comes to President Trump's thinking about the Navy's strange prosecution of Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher and some other SEALs, this quote from George Orwell comes to mind: "We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm."
Yes, our Navy SEALs, Delta Force operators, Army Rangers and Special Forces are very rough men who take exception to the beheading of innocents and to putting pilots in cages and setting fire to them. In fact, our rough men, who reek of macho-male toxicity, have been visiting violence on those who would do us harm.
That, however, did not sit well with some female lawyers inside the Navy's JAG Corps who decided our rough men should be brought to heel. Apparently, thinking the ends justify the means, they got NCIS investigators to coach and shape the testimony of interviewees. They used malware to listen in on discussions between Chief Petty Officer Gallagher and his lawyer. They hid a video clearing Gallagher of murder. And when a Navy Corpsman, under a grant of immunity, confessed that he killed the POW, not Gallagher, they pressed the case anyway. The presiding judge had to admonish the prosecutors for misconduct.
