  1. gallagher is pretty much representative of most american navy seals but got caught. `
    does military discipline demand that war crimes be punished?` if that were the case half the american military and all their generals would be locked up.

    1. In this situation – Trump has taken command responsibility for war crimes committed by any US gov’t employee by providing that pardon. Its no small thing.

      Look at the Yamshita case in the Tokyo Trial and more recently the Kirstic case in the ICTY.
