Members of Gallagher’s platoon, SEAL Team 7, said he killed or aimed to kill innocent civilians and murdered the semi-conscious prisoner with whom he posed for pictures. Special Operator First Class Craig Miller broke down while describing what he witnessed, saying of Gallagher, “The guy is freaking evil.” At another point, Miller said his fellow platoon members invented tactics to try “to protect the civilian population from Eddie.” “You could tell he was perfectly OK with killing anybody,” Special Operator First Class Corey Scott said. Another member, Special Operator First Class Joshua Vriens, said Gallagher was “toxic.” Still another called him a “psychopath.” As a trained medic and sniper, Gallagher was initially seen as a mentor figure and something of a legend, the SEALs said in an accompanying New York Times documentary on Hulu. (see Huffpost-2019/12/29) A countering testimony indicates that Gallagher did not do it, but someone he worked closely with did: “Special Warfare Operator 1st Class Corey Scott — the SEAL who dropped a legal bombshell on two ongoing war crimes cases by confessing on the stand to asphyxiating an Islamic State prisoner of war — likely won’t face any punishment for the death, according to a copy of his immunity deal shared with Navy Times.” (Navy Times- 2019/06/24) Resources Huffpost-2019/12/29 Military Corruption dot com-2019/07/07 Navy Times-2019/06/24 Navy Times-2019/11/26 Task & Purpose using San Diego Union Tribune-2019/08/6 San Diego Union Tribune-2019/08/06 HERRERA Herrera, Mario.
