Until they punish the two SEALs that killed SSG Melgar, who cares about the one that killed an insurgent detainee?

SSG Warren Swan - bingo. Exactly. Agreed. It’s interesting that The two jokers that have been most vocal about ‘killing’ bin Laden have been semi-shunned by Team 6. Largely in part, for going hollywood and vocal about their exploits.

“The beauty of what they have constructed,” said a former teammate about how Bissonnette and O’Neill cornered the market on the bin Laden raid, “is that there is only one guy, essentially, who can come forward and say they’re lying — and he won’t ever talk.”

The above quote is taken from the article linked below. It’s a little long, but a really interesting read.
They’re a group that is capable of amazing things. But sh*tty people can be trained to do amazing things, too. And there will be sh*tty people in any group, no matter what.
(*note, SF isn’t necessarily immune. They’ve just gotten much, much better at avoiding the limelight and not being press-whores)

Bissonnette and O’Neil should have this on their lapels whenever they leave the house.

LT Shannon R - But I know justice is slow as hell, but damn man. How long does the family have to suffer? (Sarcasm alert), the PVT’s in BCT now will retire as SGM/CSM’s before this is resolved, and by then how many books will be written about this by the SEALS themselves/ They truly love themselves and want everyone else to know it.

SSG Warren Swan - Ask an SF soldier: “I’m in the army. I’m infantry. I’m at Bragg. I’m in Group. Yeah, I’m SF. Stop asking questions.”

Ask a SEAL. “Damn right I’m a SEAL. Basically, our own branch of the Navy. When are you publishing this interview?”

Of course that’s a generalization, but a lot of seals are cashing in, and overall, it’s hurting their brand. And all sarcasm aside, it appear as though Melgars case has been completely hush hushed. If those clowns are in the brig somewhere, it isn’t being advertised. And his family deserves much better.
