People were hung for war crimes in killing prisoners of war. The victor tends to get better treatment after the war than the defeated but nevertheless American forces re held to the same standard. We prosecute those that violate the Geneva convention. Gallagher being one example.

With all due respect, scumbag terrorists have no protection under the Geneva Convention as POW’s. The are not professional soldiers in uniform. They should all be lined up against a wall and shot IMHO.

There's a nearly impenetrable wall of anti-Trump liars who are trying to "get" Gallagher to "get" Trump. I had to wade through 7-8 pages on Goolag till I found something useful.

Otherwise, it's just a bunch of lies like the lies of some of the propagandists on this very thread.

However, the helmet camera footage directly contradicts the witnesses testimony on which prosecutors have built their case by showing Gallagher protected the wounded ISIS fighter from vengeful Iraqi forces and went to great effort to tend to the man's wounds.

"In this video, you see the Iraqi partner forces dragging this half-dead terrorist off the hood of the Humvee … Eddie coming over, taking charge, clearing everybody away; the ISIS guy is now down the ground; Eddie pulls out his medical kit and starts assessing his injuries to perform first aid," Parlatore said. "That's all that's in the video."

And this:

Navy spokesman Brian O'Rourke confirmed to Task & Purpose that Scott testified on Thursday that he had asphyxiated the wounded ISIS fighter and was responsible for the man's death.

Scott reportedly said that he knew the fighter "was going to be turned over to the Iraqi forces and that he had previously seen those forces torture, rape and murder prisoners," NBC News reports.

"I knew he was going to die anyway," Scott said. "I wanted to save him from waking up to what had happened next."

Duncan Hunter says in this video that the Iraqi forces had the teenage fighter for several hours, and that Hunter saw a helmet cam video where you can tell the kid is dying even before he was turned over to Gallagher and his men.
