Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher's Wife and Brother Share How the Accusations Went from Cookie Butter Theft to Murder
[Breitbart] It started out with a small group of Navy SEALs back in Mosul, Iraq, in the summer of 2017.First they complained he stole someone’s Red Bull energy drinks, that he ate half of someone’s cookie butter from a care package, and that he didn’t pay someone back for a haircut. Two complainants did have more serious concerns ‐ they thought he was too aggressive in his tactics, which they felt put their lives at unnecessary risk. But those allegations were nothing like those he faced months after the Navy SEAL platoon returned home. The allegations turned from stealing cookie butter into cold-blooded murder ‐ that he stabbed a wounded teenage ISIS captive to death and mowed down a young girl and old man from a sniper’s roost. Soon, what started as petty rumors morphed into murder charges against a decorated Navy SEAL in a case that has captured the nation’s ‐ and the president’s ‐ attention. Those fighting for 40-year-old Chief Special Warfare Operator Eddie Gallagher’s innocence believe he will ultimately be found not guilty when his trial convenes on June 17.
