San Diego (CNN)Decorated Navy SEAL team leader Eddie Gallagher was acquitted of nearly all charges in the death of an ISIS prisoner in Iraq, including premeditated murder.
But a jury of seven soldiers in his court-martial found him guilty of posing for a photo with the 12-year-old ISIS fighter, an offense carrying a maximum sentence of four months.

Edward R. Gallagher (born 1979 or 1980)[1] is a United States Navy SEAL Special Warfare Operator. From September 2018 to July 2019,he faced court martial charges for premeditated murder, attempted murder, obstruction of justice, posing for a photo with a casualty, and other offenses. He was acquitted on almost all charges on July 2, 2019, but was found guilty of posing for a photo with a corpse, considered the least egregious of the crimes. His trial included an unexpected confession from another medic who had been granted immunity, claiming he was the one who actually killed the victim.
During his service, he was decorated for valor several times, including two Bronze Stars.[5] He received positive evaluations from his superiors within the SEALs and served as an instructor in the SEALs BUD/S program for recruits.

He is a Carnival Barker and charlatan. Look here, don't look there. He put his business adventures in his kids name.
Again, just because he can - - should he?
Was this decision a good one for a president to make?
