Edward Gallagher, a U.S. Navy SEAL, has been charged with a number of UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice) violations while deployed to Mosul, Iraq last year. Some of the charges include performing his reenlistment ceremony next to a corpse, obstruction of justice, drug possession and firing at noncombatants.
