    Not Guilty

    Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher spoke briefly with reporters Tuesday after a military jury in San Diego found him not guilty of murder and all but one other charge.
    The jury is scheduled to sentence him Wednesday in San Diego.
    Gallagher could face up to four months confinement after being convicted of a single charge of posing for photographs with a dead war casualty.

    If any of us got caught up in battling those bastards we would also kill one or two.

    My niece is married to a seal and my nephew is currently going thru BUD/s training (has made it thru hell week). I look forward to tossing back a cold one with those young men.

    While I have no problem with taking the picture of a dead opponent, the accused had to know of the rules and now faces the consequences of his actions.

    Thank you for your service Chief Gallagher.

    Apparently his entire squad hated his guts and testified against him.

    I can see lots of intense rivalry among those guys. There were 10 or so at my niece's wedding and while you would enjoy the conversation and think them very polite, in enough time you can notice what constant combat (whether mental or physical) does to someone. They are a scary bunch.

    The only thing I am sure of is that 99% of us will never comprehend the level of committment these young men make to us and each other.

    Amen to that! I didn't see where it said his whole squad testified against him, I imagine they had to testify. I wouldn't have convicted him on anything. They train them to kill and send them over there to give out candy, convict the SOB's that sent him over there with his hands tied. Salute!!!!
