Gallagher was that SEAL that Trump pardoned from war crimes, right?
Specifically he murdered POWs, once with a knife, and then threatened to kill any of his team that ratted on him.
He is kind of the poster child of the disdain conservatives have for modern rules of engagement. They still think he was falsely maligned and that he only "did what he had to do." Of course, that's why he was pardoned. They need people like him going forward.
His fellow snipers and the rest of his squad admitted that he also shot randomly at civilians, to the point that his squad ACTIVELY FUCKED WITH HIS RIFLE SCOPE to make sure he'd miss the first shot and give civilians some time to get to cover as he cycled his rifle.
The dude was enough of a psychopath that they screwed the dude WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO KEEP THEM SAFE so he wouldn't randomly murder civilians.
You also forgot the part that he stabbed a POW to death, took pictures with the corpse, and sent them to his buddies stateside.
