    Disagree. I would give him a silver star and put him back into the field to kill our enemies.

    That is what we spent millions of dollars to train him for.

    Wasted some money on that one.

    Kill vs murder. Stabbing a wounded teen is murder.

    Since when did machinegunning noncombatants, sniping little girls and old men, and stabbing wounded out of combat enemies become the "right side" of things?

    The guy was turned in by his own team because he was out of control and committing war crimes. He is a disgrace to the uniform and a danger to the mission.

    Wounded and injured people often still can fight. War is a chaotic environment.

    No $#@!? I didn't know that.

    The one he stabbed to death was out of combat. His wounds put him out of the fight and a SEAL medic had just got him stabilized. He was a PW and under control. He was no threat. The school girl and old man he shot from a sniper hide were both unarmed and not engaged in combat. Even the other snipers in the unit said it was $#@!ed up and there was no excuse for it. He then tried to cover it up and prevent other SEALs from reporting the incidents.

    If he did the things of which he is accused and witnesses say he did, he is no better than a member of the SS lining up civilians and shooting them on the Eastern Front.
