And this guy was only prosecuted (but barely convicted) because his fellows thought his sadism was so extreme!

I strongly suggest finding combat soldiers who have seen the battle field experienced war and its unspeakable terrors and then criticize the SEAL who's apparent crime was having himself photographed with a dead Taliban , his actions are out of line his actions however as a SEAL are beyond the call of duty .
Nobody can describe war or the effects that euphoric feeling of having survived , what happens when the otherside withdraws and you start to collect your wits is again something words have not yet been found to describe , Trump was correct even though the SEAL was wrong for his actions

He's barely even a soldier, more like a state-employed terrorist.
Can't imagine why any sane person or anyone in any regular army would praise him.

If it were just that, then fine.
But this guy is taking it further and openly insulting his superior officers. That's insubordination.
Some people are just dicks.

Is'nt the issue the photo ?
The other issues were created by allowing this tiny nonsense to get out of hand and then allow it to make it's way to the desk of the President .
On the issue of the photograph until you speak to people who have experienced the incredible terror of a battle then the euphoric heady sense of relief you are still here then who is here to judge him ?
