Anguished SEALs Recall Chief as 'Evil' and 'Toxic'
« on: December 29, 2019, 04:41:19 pm »
Houston Chronicle by Dave Philipps Dec. 27, 2019

The Navy SEALs showed up one by one, wearing hoodies and T-shirts instead of uniforms, to tell investigators what they had seen. Visibly nervous, they shifted in their chairs, rubbed their palms and pressed their fists against their foreheads. At times they stopped in midsentence and broke into tears.

“Sorry about this,” Special Operator 1st Class Craig Miller, one of the most experienced SEALs in the group, said as he looked sideways toward a blank wall, trying to hide that he was weeping. “It’s the first time — I’m really broken up about this.”

Video recordings of the interviews obtained by The New York Times, which have not been shown publicly before, were part of a trove of Navy investigative materials about the prosecution of Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher on war crimes charges, including murder.

They offer the first opportunity outside the courtroom to hear directly from the men of Alpha platoon, SEAL Team 7, whose blistering testimony about their platoon chief was dismissed by President Donald Trump when he upended the military code of justice to protect Gallagher from punishment.

Da poor bay-bays!

Group hug! Group hug!

I am going to take a wild guess here,and say they will all be promoted after their testimony. Probably into jobs where they are bosses,not shooters.
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!

Bombing Dresden, Berlin, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Nagasaki involved INTENTIONALLY kiling civilians.

Am I the only one here, able to dorelate the 20 year duration Afghanistan "wa," with the Europe/Pacific WWII victories in 4 years?

We now conduct only  half measures, lest we upset some "Christian" magazine editor.

The way to "change hearts and minds," is by killing lots of enemies, including civilians.
avarian sector?
Have we had uprisings, in the Bavarian secttor?

Grn Patreaus PhD, won't tell you to kill more.

Pres. GW Bush, "islam is a religion of peace," won't tell you to kill more of the enemy.
