The family should have stayed out of it. Chief Gallagher was lucky to get out with his rank and his retirement in control. He failed to follow the orders of his superiors, failed as a supervising NCO by allowing himself to be displayed as as much an animal as our enemies, and he has placed further taken prisoners to possible atrocities.
As for the “glinks” that were accomplished by the legal system, none of that had anything to do with the charges that were finalized. So having his brother getting into the works when he was lawfully found guilty of the act he did, it should be an embarrassment to the military being thrown by a media that soaks up every little scrap they can and elevates it to do harm to them.

Please refresh my memory here. How did he fail to follow orders?
I couldn’t disagree more.
I guess we disagree..and the POTUS disagrees,,,
You are a mindless political bigot and totally ignorant moron. You have no clue what you are talking about.
Rather then continue proving yourself the stupidest person on this website, I suggest you stick to what you know rather then prove yourself a greater ass-clown here.
The Navy's first lead prosecutor was removed from the case after admitting to emailing a tracking beacon to defense attorneys, paralegals, and reporters in order to find the source of leaks to the media. The Navy's team was also accused of manipulating witness statements to NCIS agents and trying to cover it up.
What was he found guilty of? not murder! Yet he did 4 months! For what? Posing for a photo?
When the prosecution malevolently and willfully disregards the rights of the defendant, the charges under the United States civil code and the UCMJ are to be dismissed - in this case, with prejudice (IMO). Gallagher was prosecuted for murder, whereas a colleague of his admitted on the stand to killing the illegal combatant during the trial. Because Gallagher did not murder the illegal combatant, the navy brass was going to further prosecute Gallagher out of embarrassment.
I cannot think of a single warfighter I know (including myself) that thinks the second-tier of prosecution and punishment is justice.

Meanwhile, Hillary Criminal and her staff were breezily committing 600 or so felonies putting classified material in an unsecure environment. Then we have the FBI submitting criminally fraudulent FISA applications with the intent of spying on a political campaign. After that more crimes were committed covering up those felonies.
You are so quick to condemn Eddie. And so silent on the real criminals here. I’ll buy you a clue: it ain’t Eddie. POTUS is striking an important blow at the Deep State via his defense of an enlisted sailor. It’s that simple.
There is a military expression, Shinola flows downhill. The perfumed Princes in the Military will destroy an underling’s career in a New York second it it helps their’s. I seen this happen, so POTUS was one hundred percent right in this.Kudos to him. Admiral Perry famously said “Damn the torpedos, full speed ahead.” That’s our pres.
I think the prosecutors acted in worse fashion than Gallagher. They tried to illegally prosecute him for the crimes he was charged -and acquitted- Which were all the major charges.
The moral hazard here is on prosecutorial misconduct - and getting away with it.
“He failed to follow the orders of his superiors, failed as a supervising NCO by allowing himself to be displayed as as much an animal as our enemies, and he has placed further taken prisoners to possible atrocities.”
You mean like those same “superiors” and their “superiors’ failed to obey the CINC?
And you ignore that his Courts Martial was conducted like the Schiff impeachment.
Thank goodness, Trump is smarter and more compassionate than you are.
Gallagher’s only crime was irritating a pompous Admiral who was mistakenly thinking he was God.
