Fellow Navy Seals who knew Gallrein all have negative things to say about him.

Hey
@grok
have any of Ed Gallrein’s fellow Navy SEAL soldiers gone on the record to say negative things about him?

**Yes.**

Retired Navy SEALs Joe Heatly (who went through BUD/S with him) and Adam Newbold (senior chief) have publicly criticized Ed Gallrein. Heatly called him a “POS” who “wrecked careers” and made life miserable in the Teams. Newbold described him as “one of the most hated SEALs in the history of the SEAL teams” who “aborted more careers of great Navy SEALs than anyone else.” Similar negative views appear in private SEAL forums.

These are on-record statements from fellow operators.

**There are documented inconsistencies in Ed Gallrein’s claims** (e.g., four Bronze Stars vs. records showing three in prior documents, plus questions on exact retirement timeline). He had a long, real Navy SEAL career with combat deployments, but these discrepancies have sparked valid stolen valor concerns.

“”””Fellow Navy Seals who knew Gallrein all have negative things to say about him.””””

How many is that “all” from his 30 year career and rising to SEAL Team 6?

No surprise a leftist troll such as yourself would side with Massie.
