#2 The dead IS guy deserves no attention, and for shooting civs Gallagher needed more help and counseling than anything. Maybe some time off, a shrink...

Looks like some self-righteous bravo foxtrotting to me. Or a set-up ? They thought he's going to get them into trouble someday, and when given the chance they ganged up on whatsapp to get their stories synced... anything is possible.

From Time Mag: a sniper, Gallagher is alleged to have shot at two Iraqi citizens, an old man and a young girl, “with a dangerous weapon likely to produce death or grievous harm

He shot at people, but didn't intend to hit them.

SEALs added that they “tampered with his sniper rifle to make it less accurate

Now, those are serious offenses for military law.

While these accusations have been levied by a few, there are more than four times as many in Eddie’s platoon who were there at these incidents that say it never happened.

#4 SEALs added that they “tampered with his sniper rifle to make it less accurate
