Some of Gallagher’s platoon subordinates alleged that the former SEAL shot civilians and stabbed a wounded Islamic State fighter in the neck, killing him, during a 2017 deployment in Iraq. Former SEALs told The San Diego Union-Tribune that information like that puts those service members at risk. The clip highlights specific interviews with SEALs who made allegations about Gallagher, listing some of their names, duty statuses and current units. The three-minute video was posted to Edward Gallagher’s Facebook and Instagram accounts with the title, “#thetruthiscoming.” In it, Gallagher, a former chief petty officer, derided certain members of his platoon as “cowards” and claimed that some still refuse to “accept” that he was acquitted of most of his alleged crimes. The retired Navy SEAL who was accused of several war crimes stemming from a 2017 Iraq deployment posted a video to social media on Monday attacking his former SEAL teammates who made allegations against him.
