Gallagher is a psycho.

WildRose · 2020-01-02T03:23:21.400Z

And a hundred times the man any of his critics will ever be.

This Gallagher sure is a stand up dude.

In a three-minute video posted to his Facebook page and Instagram account Monday, retired Chief Special Operator Edward Gallagher, 40, referred to some members of his former platoon as “cowards” and highlighted names, photos and — for those still on active duty — their duty status and current units, something former SEALs say places those men — and the Navy’s mission — in jeopardy.

Shocker.

Wonder how long it’ll be till he gets himself into legal trouble.

Providing aid and comfort to the enemy. That folks is the very definition of treason.

His neck should snap at the end of a rope and his rotting corpse should be left for the vultures.

Letting this sicko out of his cell was a bad idea.

All some people have to do is be thankful that they got away with murder.

Can’t even do that.

Retired Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher strikes back at SEALs who testified against him

Wow, what a counter puncher.

What should be done to him?

Military Times – 26 Feb 19

Military retirees can still be court-martialed, Supreme Court affirms

The decision leaves the possibility open for retirees implicated in high-profile scandals to face punishment, to include sailors involved in the Navy’s “Fat Leonard” scandal and retired Gen. David Petraeus’ affair with his biographer.

Not sure.

If the impacted active duty members filed formal complaints, then it would probably be possible to recall him to active duty and then charge him under the UCMJ. Probably send him to Captains Mast instead of a Court Martial.

Dereliction of duty, conduct unbecoming, defamation/libel, endangering life and property - I could probably come up with half a dozen charges that fall under Article 134 and I’m not even a JAG.

Remember our conversation a few months ago about the different between being on the retired list and Fleet Reserve? E-7 Gallagher transferred to the Fleet Reserve after 20 and won’t “retire” for another 10 years. He’s still subject to the UCMJ.

An easier approach.

Lock him in a room with the Seals he just ****** over for about 10 minutes.

@Safiel,

I would appreciate your opinion on my post just before yours.

#1 Is E-7 Gallegahar still subject to the UCMJ especially since he’s not retired (although that is language commonly used in the media) and is actually still part of the Navy’s Fleet Reserve component not moving to the retired list until he’s completed a total of 30 -years.

#2 That his actions are chargeable under various articles - I’m thinking Art 134 most likely - and that he could be exposed to non-judicial punishment under Article 15. He would still have the option of not accepting Article 15 and request a court martial which can be very dangerous to him as the level of punishments go up.

Thank you.

No need to lock them in. A simple promise not to prosecute should do it.

He’s probably going to take a beating anyway.

Apocalypto:

Nothing to sere folks. Just Trump wanting to signal to military personnel that he has the back of any military members who might disobey orders and the military code of conduct if he needs them in the future to back his criminal actions.

Obviously you do not know much about the military, or about Trump.

The Dept. of Defense is the largest government department there is, and it is just as full of bureaucratic imbeciles and political hacks as any other department.

Officer above the grade of colonel are essentially politicians. This has been a known fact forever. While we admire and praise the bravery of fighting soldiers in the field, we despise political hacks in the Pentagon.

Bottom line, the Pentagon advice was crap and Trump did the right thing. The fighting men and women who lay their lives on the line know that their Commander in Chief has their back. And you charge, that Trump signaled to military personnel that he has the back of any military members who might disobey orders is just disgusting.

This post juxtaposed with the posts just before it detailing how Gallagher is potentially putting current Seals in danger is simply precious.

I’m eagerly anticipating his upcoming gig as a FoxNews military analyst.

SEALs. It’s an acronym.
