Eddie Gallagher 'Is Freaking Evil' Says Fellow Navy SEAL in Damning Leaked Videos
“The guy is freaking evil,” Special Operator First Class Craig Miller said of his platoon Chief Edward Gallagher in video recordings obtained by The New York Times.
“You could tell he was perfectly OK with killing anybody that was moving,” Special Operator First Class Corey Scott told Naval Criminal Investigative Service agents in interviews describing Chief Gallagher.
The video interviews, leaked to the Times, along with a trove of Navy investigative materials including text messages, come on the heels of Gallagher’s case rising to national prominence after President Donald Trump intervened on Gallagher’s behalf, letting him retire with full honors, even though fellow SEAL members said they witnessed Gallagher murder a teenage Islamic State captive with a hunting knife.
The leaked video testimonies show Navy SEALs tense and stressed recounting Gallagher’s brutal behavior while deployed in Iraq in 2017. Miller, trying to hide his tears, apologized for his emotions, saying, “Sorry about this. It’s the first time — I’m really broken up about this.” Although it’s part of SEAL culture not to report teammates for misconduct, in texts between Gallagher’s teammates, they encouraged each other to tell the truth.
