The decorated U.S. Navy SEAL facing a war crimes trial is “extremely happy to be out” of the brig he was being held in since September, a California House Republican says, and the SEAL's family has been posting pictures of the first time they were allowed to see him in months.
Rep. Duncan Hunter’s comments on the Brian Kilmeade Show this week come days after President Trump announced that Eddie Gallagher would be moved to “less restrictive confinement” ahead of the SEAL’s May 28 court date. Gallagher is accused of killing an injured ISIS prisoner of war in Iraq, amongst other charges, and was relocated this weekend from the brig to the barracks at U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, just outside of San Diego.

I hope he will be completely released soon.
He should get a medal, not jail for killing a terrorist who attacked him.
What they’re doing to this hero is absolutely DISGUSTING!
Yes, that is why President Trump is working to correct it.
Amen!
God bless our President.
Yes. As if those veterans (of active combat) didn’t have enough to recover from, now it was looking as though his own country had turned against him.
Thank you Mr. Trump.
GWB would have wanted to do it, but Rove would have tried to talk him out of it.
There are a number of other hero’s in prison for similar acts, mostly from the Obama era.
Just pretend he aborted the ISIS prisoner, give him a medal in feminism, and let him live his normal life (as best you can after his ordeal).
The Fraud wishes Eddie Gallagher had been on the chopper with the other SEALs he sacrificed to his terrorist BFF’s for his allegedly having taken out obama bin laden.
Obama and Hillary would have left him rotting in the brig.
Most likely Obama put him there in the first place.

Worth a read for those commenting without knowing various sides and angles of this story.
Thanks for posting that. I had picked up bits and pieces of this Seal's story so I knew there was more to it than his just killing a prisoner.
Sounds like he had some serious mental issues that were ignored by people who could have helped him.
Who is the insufferable, absolute a-hole responsible for persecuting out Navy SEALs? Despite all the odds, we still get heroes, and then the demented ‘Powers That Be’ - the Careerist Chair Polishers - try to torpedo the whole program.
The officer(s) in charge should be the ones facing charges, not our Precious Warriors.
Jeez McGoo.
One of the reasons the Japanese rarely surrendered in WW2 was because they weren't allowed to, and we didn't try to ruin all those Americans like this. This guy sounds like he saw a lot of combat. Maybe he needed to be taken out of combat, but I don't see a reason for him to be facing the prison sentence he's now facing. War takes a heavy toll on people both mentally and physically, and we shouldn't be so willing to send people into it without good reasons; at least not expecting them to behave exactly like those of us who aren't facing the stresses of combat.
The Navy Seal should get a $50 fine (payable by time already served) and be immediately released.
Thank you, Mr. President.
This is all traceable back to when Obama got rid of the competent top officers and leaving the left leaning, politically correct creeps and sycophants to take their places. We need more top level officers who are actually warriors and not just ladder climbing clerks.
Just curious, did you read the ENTIRE article in the Navy Times that was provided in Post #13?
