Two Navy SEALs and two Marine Raiders are facing murder charges in the 2017 death of U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Logan Melgar in a house in Mali, according to charge sheets obtained by USNI News.I've said for a long time that Navy SEALs were broken. I trace that back to the outrageous hero worship from the White House and the IDIOTIC string of books, and other attention that they got during the Bush Jr years in office.
The SEALs and Marines are all charged with murder and obstructing justice in the June 4, 2017 death of Melgar. The charge sheets accuse the four of breaking into Melgar’s room, binding him with duct tape while a SEAL choked Melgar to death and then lying to investigators about what had happened.
The criminal charges were preffered to the four on Wednesday, according to a statement from Navy Region Mid-Atlantic provided to USNI News.
“The four personnel face charges… including felony murder, involuntary manslaughter, conspriacy obstruction of justice, hazing and burglary,” the statement said.
McRaven was considered a celebrity, cashed it in for a cushy job as a University administrator as he oversaw the over glamorization AND overuse of his force.
Now?
Now the stench has rubbed off on Marine Raiders.
This whole thing is disgusting to read. I bet the particulars (which we will probably never know about) would make us punch walls, shake our heads in anger and demand a full review of the organization.
Somehow, someway the freaking Army seems to be holding it together. I wonder why?
Regardless. Read this shit for yourself here.
