In 2018, a group of Navy SEALs broke ranks and accused their chief, Eddie Gallagher, of murder—sucking them all into the biggest war crimes trial in a generation. Did a Navy SEAL cross the line in Iraq? Dan Taberski (“Running from COPS”) takes you inside that courtroom for the first time, peeling back the curtain on how America wages its wars now and revealing the story that the media covering the trial blew right past. Through intimate conversations with over 50 special operators, the series explores just how blurred the line between right and wrong has become in the forever wars—and what that’s doing to the hearts and minds of those we send to fight them.

Extremely well researched!
Apple does great job of providing factual information and allowing listeners to come to their own conclusion. You will definitely learn lots of new details that have not been revealed before. It keeps you engaged and thinking about our military operations.
After listening to this podcast, I have a better understanding of stresses involved during wartime on our military and how it impacts their lives. Whether you agree or disagree with the charges against Eddie Gallagher, you will have a better understanding of what really happened.

Very smart and competent reporting that will keep you near the edge of your seat throughout. A window into the murky ethics of the modern war machine.

Binged this all on one Saturday morning. Awesome access to people involved, even handed treatment of moral ambiguities, great production. Also was just perfect pace and length. Can’t wait to see the Apple TV show.

I will say the Apple TV show was very good, but this podcast takes five second sound bites and forces it’s own narrative. I thought it would be more informative and allow the listener to come to their own conclusion, rather than trying to add more to the “guilty” narrative. If you want to come to your own conclusion with more unbiased information, watch the show on Apple TV.
