Retired Navy SEAL Gallagher sez posing with dead enemy combatant was wrong
[MAIL] Retired Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher who was acquitted of murdering an ISIS prisoner has admitted that he believes posing for a photo with the dead body was wrong. Gallagher was charged in 2018 with war crimes, including murder, in the stabbing death of an ISIS militant captive in his care during a deployment to Iraq. The Special Operations Chief and his fellow SEAL members posed for a now-infamous photo with the corpse of the Iraqi prisoner. He was pictured smiling in the middle of his platoon members as he held a knife to the dead captive's throat. Following a high-profile trial that attracted the attention of President Trump, Gallagher ended up being acquitted of all charges except for one: Posing in photos with the dead captive. In an interview with 60 Minutes that will air on Sunday, Gallagher spoke out about that photo and how he was wrong to pose with the captive's body. Posted by: Besoeker 2020-02-29 |
