In this new episode of Life Lessons with Doctor Bob, Doctor Bob welcomes Navy Seal war veteran Eddie Gallagher who led a platoon to successfully defeat ISIS in Mosul in 2017. For his performance and leadership, he was highly commended upon returning home. However, despite this record of success and a sterling reputation, Chief Gallagher and his family suffered in silence for well over a year at the hands of a mounting whisper campaign started by a small group of disgruntled junior members of his platoon who had been called out by him as cowards on deployment. Then, on September 11, 2018, he was arrested and unjustly charged with war crimes. Nearly eight months of pre-trial confinement — being locked in prison before your court date — followed.

Only after a national outcry, a grassroots campaign led by his family, and an intense legal battle was Eddie found not guilty. He was finally free – proven innocent – but came dangerously close to being crushed by a military justice system corrupted by political correctness, careerism, and incompetence. Don’t miss this interview as Gallagher discusses the magnitude and terror of the ordeal that he and his family went through, and his victory through a broken and corrupted system.
