I’d love to see Pres. Trump appoint him to some senior position, maybe Navy Secretary. That would be sweet revenge. But probably not kind to Gallagher.
Gallagher has children and is actually still married to their mother. This is rare among “warfighters.” His wife is amazing for sticking by his side through this. I can only imagine how stressful it has been. I hope they can enjoy his military retirement and that he finds a satisfying new career.
When we caught German Troops wearing US Army Uniforms on the Battlefield during WWII they were Interrogated and Shot on the spot.
Now posing for a Camera Phone Picture with a dead Terrorist Son of a Bitch can ruin someone’s Life, a person who put their own Life on the line for our Nation?
Too bad there isn’t a picture of Conan squatting and relieving herself over the remains (pieces) of the ISIS guy she went after.
We live in interesting times.
Its fallout from the Iraq war prison photo scandal.
Any idea as to why they were so intent on getting Gallagher?
Sounds like the JAGs are operating like the "political officers" in the old Soviet army.
I guess they got their head on straight.
Case closed. Moving on.......
1. They're prosecutors.
2. They got caught pulling some shady stuff. They mad.
"Part of the punishment included booting Cmdr. Christopher Czaplak, the lead prosecutor, for a warrantless surveillance program cooked up with Naval Criminal Investigative Service agents to track emails sent by defense attorneys and Navy Times."
3. They're probably NeverTrump.
“Sounds like the JAGs are operating like the “political officers” in the old Soviet army.”
In more and more combat theater operations areas they are; like school teachers and administrators that have to check with their lawyers and union reps before they authorize anything, anything - if anything happens don’t want their own lawyers telling them THEIR INTERPRETATION of the UCMJ and DOD “regs” would have them either not do something or do it different. It’s like “legal” micro-management. No way to run any war.
“He had 100s of pics of dead VC and some NVA...and pics of some pretty bad stuff like trophies
Nobody said shit”
My HS history teacher back in the 70’s was a WWII island jumper.
He passed around class 20-25 pics of dead Japanese soldiers he took in the most gruesome form.
No one complained or got offended. He wanted to show how bad the fighting was and what are troops saw.
Today he would be drummed out of the school by lunchtime.
We were hardier back then.
