Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher's journey has been a harrowing one. Gallagher, a 15-year SEAL, was found not guilty of murdering an Islamic State (ISIS) fighter in 2017 but was convicted of posing with the dead prisoner's corpse. The Navy reduced his rank from chief petty officer to 1st class petty officer and considered revoking his Trident. President Trump took notice of Gallagher's story after it garnered national media attention and intervened on his behalf to restore his previous rank, in November. He also stopped the Navy from seeking further disciplinary action against him and fired Navy Secretary Richard Spencer for his handling of the case.
