Navy SEAL Found Not Guilty of Murder in Death of ISIS Prisoner in Iraq

Epoch Times:

A military jury acquitted a decorated Navy SEAL of premeditated murder on July 2 in the killing of a wounded ISIS captive under his care in Iraq in 2017.

The jury also found Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher not guilty of all other counts except for the violation of posing for photographs with a dead war casualty.

Gallagher reacted with “tears of joy, emotion, freedom and absolute euphoria,” defense lawyer Marc Mukasey said.

“Suffice it to say this is a huge victory,” Mukasey said outside court. “It’s a huge weight off the Gallaghers.” more

  2. HOW does one “murder,” an ENEMY COMBATANT, ON THE BATTLEFIELD? 🤨

    PERSECUTIONS like this, illustrate WHY you shitcan EVERY officer O-6 and above, after 8 years of a CiC like Shitbama. 🤔

  3. We play by the Maquis of Kingsbury rules. Everyone else plays for keeps. Ask LTC Allen West.

    Gotta believe those that testified against him are pissing their utilities about now.

  4. The job of the military is to kill people and blow stuff up.

    And you can’t prosecute them for it. That’s their job. That’s why we keep them around at all.

    Did you not want people killed and stuff blown up?
    You shouldn’t have used the miltary then!

    Because that’s their job. Don’t call them if you don’t want people killed and stuff blown up.
