The Line
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. New Episodes on Tuesdays. An Apple Original podcast produced by Jigsaw Productions. Listen and follow on Apple Podcasts.

Eddie’s Wife is a Problem
15 sept.
Interested in money over the life of a 13/14-year-old kid who was in poverty and working with ISIS as a “good job” is Eddie’s wife to a “T”- In the USA, would we execute a 13/14 year-old kid who does something so misguided? No, we look at the context. Just like we are being asked to look at context for Eddie… We have to be better than this, in every instance. —- The podcast was extremely well done. Traumatic brain injury must be studied, tracked and minimized by the military as much as possible. New technologies to help protect service members should be invested in. —-Eddie needed more time in prison to reflect on stabbing a 13/14-year-old kid, lying about it, photographing it and then repeatedly bragging about it afterward. I wish he could hear himself as the rest of the world does.— Lastly, anyone who would glorify and reward Eddie or his wife via social media with likes and repost needs to have their head examined. Any brand/product signing up to use Eddie’s “platform” is not a brand worth any of your hard-earned money. Please do better.
Watch the Show Instead

This podcast does not do a good job of creating a picture of Eddie and his teammates and this story. I’m only two episodes in watching the show on Apple TV and I’m blown away at what the podcast leaves out. I’m a huge podcast fan but my recommendation is that all listeners to watch the show instead.
Interesting and insightful

The was a very insightful podcast. Listening to the description of what they look for in a navy seal it’s exactly what street gangs look for. Ride or die mentality immune to sensitivity to others feelings and comfortable with violence. It’s a recipe for disaster or you can can become a navy seal. Mmm Thank you for this interesting work!
Intriguing and Thoughtful

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.
