The problem with Eddie Gallagher is that he got a taste for murdering civilians and the helpless and he liked it. He liked it and has now been rewarded for it, thrust into the limelight as one of Trump’s champions.

I doubt he’s done.

The bit that sticks out to me the most wasn’t that he was shooting civilians and casually remarking to other snipers that he’d hit the ones they “missed” with their warning shots, but that he expressed a willingness to put them in harm’s war in order to increase his chances of winning a silver star. Put that together with his response to the story, which is that they’re all a bunch of weaklings who ratted him out because they were afraid to fight, and you’ve got another William Calley.
