After Watching 'The Line': Believing Eddie Gallagher or His Accutors

As someone with military experience, I have no interest in bluffing about the rigors of basic training and the United Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). If any member of a team chooses to cover up unethical or immoral actions, they should face the legal consequences. In the case of Eddie Gallagher, I am convinced that not only he, but his entire team should be held accountable for their actions.

The Navies Code of Conduct

During basic training, we were all taught that we have the right and the duty to refuse and report any unethical or immoral orders. This is not just a suggestion; it is a legal obligation.

Given this protocol, every member of the team involved in the cover-up should be penalized. The fact that Eddie Gallagher was pardoned by President Trump amplifies the injustice towards him and tarnishes the honor he earned as a service member.

Witnesses and Evidence

While I didn't watch the mini-series 'The Line', I am aware of the allegations that surround Eddie Gallagher. Unlike a single person's testimony, these are claims made by multiple accusers. It is difficult to dismiss such wide-ranging claims with the same ease as he said, she said. The evidence presented must be thoroughly scrutinized.

If Gallagher were to claim mutiny, it would be an extremely serious accusation. As such, a competent investigation would be required to validate such a claim. The mere fact that Gallagher sold his soul to the highest bidder to get a pardon does not absolve him of the potential crimes.

Perspective from a Family Member

My uncle, who served on the same naval team as Chief Gallagher, has a different view. My uncle speaks highly of Gallagher, especially considering their shared background in the corpsman field. In addition, Gallagher was the only sailor to complete marine sniper school at the time, an achievement that speaks to his dedication.

Furthermore, Chief Gallagher is a decorated combat veteran, earning multiple awards including the Bronze Star with V for Valor, a Silver Star, and the Navy Cross. His comprehensive list of awards and recognitions further demonstrates his commitment to his country.

A Call for a Fair Investigation

While I respect the opinions of those who have different perspectives, I believe that the truth must be uncovered. A thorough and impartial investigation is necessary to determine the validity of the accusations against Eddie Gallagher. This process is crucial to ensuring justice for all involved and upholding the honor of the Navy SEALs.
