At the end of that deployment, Chief Gallagher wasnamed the #1 chief at SEAL Team 7, put in for a Silver Star for valor on thebattlefield, and listed for promotion to Senior Chief. The junior members whom ChiefGallagher had called out for cowardice and ineptitude in combat decided theycouldn''t let any of those things stand, and escalated minor complaints into falseaccusations of stabbing a captured ISIS fighter and shooting noncombatants thatgained international attention.
