Never-before-seen confidential video reveals shocking details from the war crimes investigation of a decorated Navy SEAL. In interviews obtained by The New York Times'"The Weekly," members of SEAL Team 7 said they witnessed Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher stabbing a young ISIS fighter for no reason.
The SEALs call Gallagher "toxic," "evil" and a man who was "perfectly OK with killing anybody that was moving," reports CBS News correspondent David Martin.
"I think he just wants to kill anybody he can," one said.
The testimony paints a chilling pattern of violence executed by their platoon chief.
"Did Eddie say anything when he did this or did he just literally pull out a knife and just start stabbing him?" one SEAL was asked.
"He just pulled out a knife and started stabbing him," he replied.

OP
I've always wondered how many recruits join the army just to kill with impunity.

A murderous psychopath. Of course he admires him. He wishes he could get away with the same thing.

(6,408 posts)8. Viewed a TV interview
with one such psycho years ago who had joined the army during the Vietnam war to "kill people". He had completed his tour when the interview took place and he further stated he wanted to go back "to take some more lives". All of this was very calm and matter-of-fact. One of the creepiest things I've ever seen.
