What was his crime exactly?

This is what Trump went to the mat for. Lay down with dogs, rise up with fleas.

Chief Gallagher was accused of multiple offenses during his final deployment to Iraq and during the Battle for Mosul. The most prominent accusation and the best-attested to was the murder of a prisoner of war, a war crime.[6] A captured young fighter of the Islamic State (also known as ISIL, ISIS, and Daesh) was being treated by a medic. According to two SEAL witnesses, Gallagher said over the radio "he's mine" and walked up to the medic and prisoner, and without saying a word killed the prisoner by stabbing him repeatedly with his hunting knife. Gallagher and his commanding officer, Lieutenant Jake Portier, then posed for photos of them standing over the body with some other nearby SEALs. Gallagher then text messaged a fellow SEAL a picture of the dead captive with the explanation "Good story behind this, got him with my hunting knife.”[6]
Another accusation was that Gallagher's sniper work during his 2017 deployment became indiscriminate, reckless, and bloodthirsty. He allegedly fired his rifle far more frequently than other snipers;[3] according to testimony, the other snipers in the platoon did not consider him a good sniper, and he took "random shots" into buildings.[1] Other snipers said they witnessed Gallagher taking at least two militarily pointless shots, shooting and killing an unarmed old man in a white robe as well as a young girl walking with other girls. Gallagher allegedly boasted about the large number of people he had killed, claiming he averaged three kills a day over 80 days, including four women.[1] Gallagher also was reportedly known for indiscriminately spraying neighborhoods with rockets and machine gun fire with no known enemy force in the region.[6]
A charge of obstruction of justice was brought against Gallagher for alleged witness intimidation. According to the claim, Gallagher allegedly threatened to kill fellow SEALs if they reported his actions.[3] The Navy cited his text messages as attempting to undermine the investigation, with messages sent to "pass the word on those traitors", meaning cooperating witnesses, and to get them blacklisted within the special warfare community.[6][1] This resulted in him being confined in the brig for a time with heavy restrictions on his ability to communicate, although this confinement was later lessened.[3]
Gallagher was also charged with "nearly a dozen" lesser offenses.[3]
According to the original Navy prosecutor Chris Czaplak, "Chief Gallagher decided to act like the monster the terrorists accuse us of being. He handed ISIS propaganda manna from heaven. His actions are everything ISIS says we are."[4][3]

I can't imagine a majority of Americans support pardoning war criminals.

No, not at all. The ringleader of the My Lai Massacre was a man named William "Rusty" Calley. He only received a 9 year sentence and didn't even serve half of it. Others, such as Paul Meadlo, Earnest Medina and Varnado Simpson didn't serve any time at all. There was outrage over that. I think most Americans understand that sometimes, unfortunately, our men and women in uniform do make very serious mistakes... and most Americans do want the facts to come out and the system of justice with jurisdiction to run it's course and that should include whatever discipline is administered as well.

How many times do we have to go over that list????? Half the people on that list were caught in the Fat Lenard scandal. Another quarter were incompetent. And the other quarter were caught up doing cocaine, watching porn on government computers, rape sexual assault, and sleeping with the wife’s of enlisted personal.

So for the record.. you're fine with Spenser going behind the JCs and offering to fix the outcome? You're against his boss for firing him for those acts?
You'll have to defend that...

He's not a war criminal. He loved this country enough to fight for it.

He loved his country enough to shot a little girl who was walking to school with her friend in the chest with a sniper rifle. He loved his country so much that the members of his SEAL team would mess up the zero on his rifles so that he couldnt kill civilians.

Spenser was fired because he got caught fixing the review when his boss was going to fix it anyway.

Was never found guilty of that and he said that never happened. All you have are accusations. Who really knows?

Golsteyn was never convicted of a war crime. But guess what..... the entire USASOC knows Golsteyn is a war criminal. That’s why they stripped him of his awards, his SF tab and beret. Gallagher is know different. People know.
