Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher has launched a lifestyle brand.

Eddie Gallagher, the Navy SEAL found guilty of posing with the body of a dead ISIS fighter and had his sentence reversed by Donald Trump. The same Navy SEAL who was characterized by members of his platoon as being “freaking evil” and willing to kill anybody that moves, yes that Eddie Gallagher, he launched a lifestyle brand.

Yes, Gallagher wants to inspire, guide and motivate other psychopaths and make them fashionable in the process. The New York Times reports that Gallagher appears to have embraced the branding opportunities that come with his increased public profile by launching a clothing collaboration and endorsing nutrition supplements and coffee.

Gallagher’s new apparel, Salty Frog gear, which he describes as a “coastal lifestyle brand with an edge,” was launched in collaboration with Nine Line and Black Rifle Coffee Company, and includes items with the print “stay salty” along with sweatshirts with pockets that can hold a bottled beverage.

The promotional material for Salty Frog boasts that “brotherhood isn’t just a statement, it’s a way of life.” But, that’s ironic coming from Gallagher whose own “brothers” accused him of war crimes, and who he now openly mocks by selling t-shirts online calling his accusers, mean girls, saying, “in a world full of mean girls be a Gallagher.”

At least I don't think so, for whatever that's worth.

There are plenty - entirely too many, in fact - rabid, vicious, bloodthirsty assholes in this country that think Gallagher is a hero because he killed some brown people who talk funny and worship the wrong version of the god of Abraham, and as such, would buy two pieces of wood that were nailed together if it had Gallagher's name on it.

This crap will sell, and he will make bank on it, of that I have no doubt.

If nothing else, Trump knows his audience, and raising this guy up was a marketing stroke of genius.

Lorance said in a tweet on Thursday that though he was pardoned and released from prison, a dishonorable discharge made it difficult to get a job "even at Walmart or Target."
