In 2018, Navy SEAL Chief Eddie Gallagher was arrested for alleged war crimes, brutally tried in the court of public opinion, and ultimately vindicated. Unwittingly, Chief Gallagher found himself one of the first victims of an increasingly woke military. I had the pleasure of speaking with Gallagher to learn what he thinks is going on. I also learned about the Pipe Hitter Foundation, a constitutionally important organization Gallagher created to protect people in the service and first responders who find themselves railroaded.
Before the interview, I read excerpts for his book, The Man in the Arena: From Fighting ISIS to Fighting for My Freedom. The chapter entitled “Mean Girls,” gripped me. Gallagher describes how a small crew of junior members in his platoon, dissatisfied with the demands he made on them, and angry that he had called them out on their poor performance, decided to destroy him. This dovetailed with my belief that leftism has used classic toxic femininity -- emotionalism, viciousness, backstabbing, and passive-aggression – to remake society.
Chief Gallagher defies lay expectations about SEALS because he doesn’t vibrate with energy or project a deafening personal amplitude. He’s low-key and unassuming. His record says he’s a man of action; his demeanor says he’s a thoughtful man.
I opened by asking Gallagher whether these “mean girls” represented the newer generation of young people entering the service. No, Gallagher said. First, though, he agreed that “There has been a movement in this country...where it was ‘everyone needs to be in touch with their emotions; everybody needs to accept people for the way they’re feeling,’ and this and that.”

If & when we once again get a real president, then I think Chief Gallagher has a promotion coming. Until then, I’m not sure it would work.
Good read, thanks for postiing. 🙂
Good read, thanks for posting. 🙂
Show me a 17-year old young man who’s “in touch with his feelings”, and I’ll show you a cheerful, homicidal maniac.
The feminization (”Oprahfication”) of society is not a healthy thing. It has been devastating for the Catholic Church.
We need a hand full of ex Navy Seals to depose this Communist regime in Washington. and quickly! My God where are they and what are they waiting for? 80 million Americans will watch their backs.
In typical SEAL fashion, Gallagher is proactive about what happened to him. He formed the Pipe Hitter Foundation, which supports service members and first responders who are unjustly accused. When I asked how the foundation knows the people they’re helping are unjustly accused, Gallagher explained that the board, made up of lawyers, police, SEALS, and others familiar with the system, review the applications very carefully.

Many were gung-ho about Crenshaw based on his background and appearance (the dashing eyepatch—whereas Walter Reed makes prosthetic eyes that are almost indistiguishable by digitally photographing the good eye and embed-printing the image in reverse on the prosthesis—but many have been disappointed in Crenshaw.
