Pursue a fatally flawed criminal investigation for some purpose other than justice, or follow the law and criminal procedure, which would be to keep the investigation open if and until at least some shred of corroborating evidence came to light.The Navy took the least smart route. My personal opinion based on both time in service and lots of research, is the Navy prefers command and control over justice and the rule of law. So they went after him wildly and aggressively, to include unnecessary detention and restraints. They had a message to send; “We own you”. The man had EIGHT deployments in combat, but this was his first time to go off the rez? Yeah, something is fishy here. It sounds less like a modern American legal prosecution, and more like the Salem Witch Trials. Regardless, what you or I think doesn’t matter. Seven of his peers have found him Not Guilty. He can never be prosecuted for these alleged crimes again. He won, they lost, end of story. Whatever’s left is between him and God.Between this and the SEALS killing the Green Beret in Africa, as well as other serious issues the past few years, I think there's something wrong with their culture. If I were JCS Dunford, I'd order a top to bottom INDEPENDENT review of the entire program. They need to clear the decks and shape up most ricky tick. You don’t hear SFOD, Rangers, Green Berets, MARSOC, TACP/CCT/PJ’s having these issues that make headlines. They’re the silent professionals whereas the SEALS seem to skyline themselves way too much.That’s not a Gallagher problem, that’s a command and control problem. <img src="/images/smilies/frown.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
