Well you obviously have never been in the military. Everyone is taught that it is a crime to kill a prisoner of war. Everyone. There is no special Seal exception. That is why most people in the military consider this dirtbag a criminal.
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!
OK, so you were taught this. I fail to see where the moral outrage comes from though. Killing a terrorist prisoner—which in any case he was not convicted of, a point you didn’t address—doesn’t evoke in me any kind of emotional response whatsoever. And why should it?
