ChipNASA sent me a link last night about some dirty deeds being done in the SEAL Community. The link was from Task and Purpose, so I took the article with a grain or six of salt, and mentioned back to Chip I was extremely reluctant to get into SEAL’s business, and would need further confirmation.<\/p>\n

The article showed what was purported to be an interview and a brief video presented by retired Chief Eddie Gallagher. I was appalled. The video clearly identified specific SEAL’s images and names, and were supposedly some of the ones who allegedly set up Chief Gallagher on the bogus charges we all have no need to go into again.<\/p>\n

Seems T&P was right.<\/p>\n

A retired Navy SEAL acquitted of nearly all charges in a high-profile war crimes case brought on by testimony from his platoon mates released a video identifying some of those same men, calling them cowards and hinting that more information is coming.<\/p>\n

Former Special Warfare Operator Chief Edward Gallagher posted the 3-minute video on both his Facebook and Instagram channels Monday.<\/p>\n

Gallagher, 40, was acquitted of murder and nearly all related charges in a court martial trial last year. The charges were lodged and prosecution depended heavily on statements made against Gallagher by platoon mates who deployed with him to Iraq to fight ISIS in 2017.<\/p>\n

His fellow SEALs told Naval Criminal Investigative Services following the deployment that Gallagher had shot a young girl while on sniper duty, fired at civilians on other occasions and stabbed a wounded ISIS fighter then posed with the corpse for a photograph.<\/p>\n

Gallagher was convicted on charges related to posing with the corpse and reduced in rating. But President Donald Trump reinstated his rating late last year.<\/p>\n

The video uses footage from those NCIS interviews and highlights the faces of SEALs in the interviews and in a unit deployment photo, giving the name, rank and current position of six SEALs and the NCIS lead investigator.<\/p>\n

Gallagher provides audio commentary over some of the video footage, saying that even though he was acquitted of the charges, \u201cthere are those to this day who do not accept that fact.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then says that he will share more details about the deployment and ends his video with the hashtag #THETRUTHISCOMING.<\/p>\n

In an interview with the San Diego Union-Tribune newspaper, one of Gallagher\u2019s attorneys, Tim Parlatore, did not specify what his client\u2019s future project will be or when it will release but did disclose that it will include more footage from the NCIS interviews and the 2017 deployment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s coming is the truth,\u201d Parlatore told the newspaper.<\/p>\n

Two other SEALs who also deployed with Gallagher but did not testify in his trial told the San Diego Union-Tribune on Monday speaking out against the retired Chief\u2019s identifying currently serving SEAL Team members.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I understand payback is a bitch, but this is extreme and will resonate with second and third order consequences.
