      These Navy SEALs evidently have a strong fascination with taking photos of themselves posing alongside mutilated corpses. Definitely the right way to win hearts and minds https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/02/us/navy-seal-trial-verdict.html …pic.twitter.com/FdxUR1BaRv

      There's no defense for this outright sadism, even in the context of a warzone. Evidently other SEALs agreed, seeing as they reported their superior for his sadistic conduct -- and Navy brass also agreed, which is why they court-martialed him. Prosecutors just screwed up the case

          Someone else claimed to have killed the victim from the stand right? I’m pretty confident Gallagher is guilty but seems impossible to prove under those circumstances.

          Clearly his defense was an adequate defense. Which makes your assessment incorrect on its face.

          His defense was adequate insofar as the prosecutors failed to sustain a conviction. Plenty of people who commit indefensible actions end up not getting convicted. Perhaps you've heard of OJ Simpson

          If this 'sadism' happened it only did so because we have a habit of picking up and treating the enemy wounded.

          Never used to be that way....but it is now. A BBC doc "Are you Good or Evil" touches on modern military training. They attempt to turn you into a psycopath imo/ then abandon you after serving.

          with all due respect, one cannot judge a soldier living in a 24/7 life and death atmosphere....it is a situation of total duress....just like armchair quarterbacks judge cops in dangerous inner cities, always looking over their shoulders, another constant duress atmosphere

          In 2012, they urinated on the Taliban so I'd call it progress.

          Or 3-4 SEALs conspired against their superior for trying to make soldiers out of snowflakes, and the Navy brass took the PC let the case go to trial despite conflicting reports. Sounds like the case was screwed up and the prosecutors just by bringing it.

          There's no defense. But this type of inconceivable (to people not in war for a long time) behavior arises in every generation of soldiers. War fs people up, often permanently. Ever heard of the Pacific theater 'trophies' scandal of WWII?https://www.thevintagenews.com/2016/09/05/heres-japanese-scull-dont-miss-much-enemy-mutilation-entered-us-mainstream-wwii/ …

          Says the journalist from behind his keyboard. There are times when “the tip of the spear” guys are asked to take photos to confirm kills of HVTs. Turning into a 🏆 pic - not standard. Hearts & minds - point taken. “No defense” - 🐂💩 - walk a mile in their boots. War is 🔥
