What punishment would you think would be fitting? Should the Navy take away his trident? Can they?

This falls into the "just goes to show you" category for me, LTC (Join to see). Anyone can be tempted by greed. This is a classic example. Kind of a mini-version of Bernie Madoff. He should spend many, many years behind bars for this.

Let's hope he doesn't blame PTSD for ripping off his friends as brutally as he did.

From the article.

"According to a pretrial services report, Mullaney claimed that in 2008 he was diagnosed with depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, PTSD and schizophrenia, and is currently on several medications. His psychiatric evaluation is not public."

Exactly, Sgt Aaron Kennedy, MS, that's why I made the comment. If he does claim PTSD as a defense, I think it's a slap in the face of and an insult to others who suffer from PTSD.

Restitution, THEN turn him over to the Brothers-In-Arms he so callously screwed over.

I know they say "there is always one", but I never expected "one" to be a SEAL!

This is got to be one of the saddest stories ever...why would you sell out your brothers like this? I think he should consider himself lucky that he made it to trial...

Get a boxing ring. Line up all of his SEAL brothers, 1 by 1. Give them all gloves. Tell him that if he can win every fight back to back with only certain breaks (latrine and water breaks are authorized, but nothing else), then all charges will be reduced and he will receive a BCD.

Bipolar? Schizophrenic? Depression? PTSD? I see where he and his defense attorney will go with this. I guess you can't trust anybody these days. Sad.

Yeah but did you notice the desperate move to try retracting that plea, sir? Judge was like "nope, no buyer's remorse, here bud". They can always try to appeal later, can't they?
