    It is hard to convict operators.

I saw a case where an operator was charged with descanting a body for collecting ears. He admitted to it. The jury was all operators and they found him not guilty. They didn't see anything wrong with it, despite what the law says.

    In the Gallagher case once the medic says he killed the little terrorist, and how, it was over.

    The terrorist was not stabbed in the neck. There was no blood evidence. The medic said he ended the terrorist's life by blocking his breathing tube.

    "Under questioning from Gallagher's attorney, Scott said that he himself had put his thumb over the prisoner's breathing tube, until the prisoner asphyxiated."

    Scott said in his initial testimony that he witnessed Gallagher stab the prisoner. He changed his testimony after he was granted immunity from prosecution. He is granted immunity, perjures himself and takes the blame, Gallagher walks and everybody lives happily ever after.

    What a deal and people like you actually believe that $#@!. Gallagher murdered a wounded, out of combat prisoner and you want to pretend it never happened. Damn, MV... Ray Charles could see through that bull$#@!.

    Someone stabbed in the neck bleeds. There was no blood on the knife nor on Gallagher's uniform.

    The Iraqi general who was present said it didn't happen. The story was made up.

    I was stabbed on my forearm with a fork once by my first wife.
    It was only a flesh wound. Of course you know even in young love there are sometimes worthy opponants

    I at least had the presence of mind ( being a spiteful opportunist also helped ) to play if for all I could . I never get to be the victim (that's woman's work lol) so I jumped at the chance!

    By the end of the day she hacked me up with a chainsaw to hear me tell it

    The Iraqi general

    Scott said he witnessed it. Other witnesses testified it happened. Gallagher himself boasted of doing it.

    No blood on the knife? Really? You are running with that? How long after the event was the knife examined? You don't think it may have been wiped clean? No good hunter leaves his knife bloody after he uses it.

    No blood on the uniform? Assuming the prosecution even got to examine the uniform he was wearing, I could easily demonstrate to you how to stab someone in the neck without getting a drop of blood on my uniform, especially if the guy was already wounded and down.

    Now you are just being ridiculous.

    Technically terrorists are not enemy combatants under the laws of war.

    Under Article IV of The Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War, 12 August 1949 (GCIII) of 1949, he qualified as a PW. Even if he didn't, you can't just murder them once they are in custody.

    So, you didn't hear about the multiple eyewitnesses who testified that Gallagher stabbed the child (age estimated between 12 and 15 years) in the neck. Those witnesses included other SEALs and Scott, the medic who claimed he was the one who killed him AFTER he was granted immunity, but previously testified that Gallagher stabbed him in the neck? You didn't hear that Gallagher himself boasted about stabbing the prisoner?

    If Scott had not been granted immunity and recanted his original testimony made under oath, the case would have been a slam dunk against Gallagher. The only thing that saved his psycho punk ass was Scott changing his testimony.
