 When you are on the teams it pays to be a winner when the only easy day was yesterday- And if you are going through buds w Eddie Gallagher as your instructor you should quit now because tomorrow is guaranteed to be much worse- I am not making final judgement on Gallagher because there are two sides to every story-

After I finish reading the 5 hour book by David Phillips I will incrementally watch the 5 hour interview on Sean Ryan- Thus far there are some red flags- Talking about stabbing members of the other platoon during training- Having some teammates state Gallagher was becoming unglued before the deployment to Mosul- Dividing up the team in two squads keeping info from one and not the other- Nobody should attempt a divide and conquer because a platoon needs to function as one pack- Going on the roof as a sniper when he didn't train up to be a sniper leaving his teammates disgruntled and bewildered- And not wearing the platoon patch wearing his own as a lone wolf separate from the entire pack-

Tolbert breathe a sigh of relief- he had just seen Eddie try to shoot a civilian for no reason pp83-  The shot missed that is why Tolbert felt relief- It goes on to state that Gallagher would make up stories about the number of kills he made each day and about being shot in the helmet and they felt that with the evidence presented based on the environment they knew they were in at the time felt that this was highly implausible- The summation was Gallagher had a bad ass reputation that preceded him but it became apparent that this was based on his own lore and tall tales-

My next question is what motive would these Seals have to lie about this?
