I believe the case included a situation where the captured and seriously wounded bad guy was about to give away the SEALs position due to his semi-conscious state and the choice was silence the dying dude or give away the position to a much larger force. I understand the choice. War is hell. Yeah, those of us who know, know.
That said, CPO Gallagher had a lot of static from his peers and subordinates, so, there is concern for his fitness.
My bona fides? Probably more credibility than most, not as much as some.
Gallagher is probably best in retired status, for his sake and the sake of the fight. BZ, Chief, now come home, like the rest of us war horses.
The rest of you serving warriors, keep up the fire!
I don’t recall that part of the story mentioned in your first paragraph but I am not prepared to say it ain’t so.
