I had my boots in the sand and will judge him. According to his fellow Seals who turned him in, among other things he knifed to death a wounded teenage combatant and then posed with the body. And this wasn't to protect his troops, it was to make himself feel good. We're skilled fighters and representatives of America out there, not Muslim whackos or Richard Ramirez.
Wasn't it proven in court that he didn't stab the ISIS fighter?
60 minutes did a piece on it a while ago. Here it is along with the article....

Sounds like he was a hard-ass on the men in his unit, calling them cowards at one point. Obviously, he wasn't a popular guy, but from what I have heard, posing in photos with dead enemy combatants isn't that uncommon. That doesn't make it acceptable, but given what these soldiers have to deal with and witness when battling these sadistic monsters i don't think it worthy of jail time.
I have watched 60 minutes my whole life and up until about a year ago it never had any political leanings then suddenly almost overnight it became another vehicle for left wing propaganda. Sad.

No, whether he did or didn't was pretty much unprovable. It came down to the testimony against him and the jury decided it wasn't enough.
Sure, especially in light of the confession by another SEAL that he removed the breathing tube from the ISIS fighter's neck, hence causing asphyxiation (i.e. death). That sounds like pretty strong evidence that he didn't stab him to death.

I think 60 Minutes slowly followed along with the alphabet networks towards left-wing bias over the past 30 or so years. Maybe what caused it to be less pronounced is that the average age of the reporters was very high. But once they began to die and were replaced with the Anderson Coopers it was only inevitable. This particular story was actually heavily criticized by the left though, so i'm not sure what you're getting at. They took the ultimate pro-Trump angle on this one.
