>Two elite Navy SEALs and two Marine Raiders were charged with felony murder in the June 2017 strangulation death of U.S. Army Green Beret Staff Sgt. Logan Melgar.
>The U.S. Navy brought the charges against the four service members on Tuesday, painting a gruesome picture of the effort to kill Melgar, 34.
>The suspects are accused of driving to Marine quarters to obtain duct tape, breaking into Melgar's room while he was sleeping, restraining him with the duct tape, and strangling him in a chokehold. The four U.S. service members, which include two members of the famed SEAL Team Six, killed Melgar "while perpetrating a burglary," according to their charge sheets.
>Melgar was killed in Bamako, Mali, where U.S. forces were working with local military to counter the local al Al Qaeda affiliate, al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb. The charges were first reported by the Daily Beast.
>Melgar died in the embassy housing he shared with other service members. In addition to felony murder, the charges against the four men include conspiracy, obstruction of justice, hazing and burglary.
>The names of the two Navy SEALS are redacted from the charge sheets, but a September 2017 Army Criminal Investigative Division report about the incident quotes Navy SEAL Tony DeDolph saying he and Army Staff Sgt. Logan Melgar were wrestling at 4 a.m. when a fellow SEAL Adam Cranston Matthew came in and joined in the horseplay. According to the SEALS, the men fell down together and when they stood up, Melgar wasn't breathing.
>The SEALs say they attempted CPR and tried to open an airway, but Melgar died of asphyxiation.
>A spokesperson for U.S. Special Operations Command said these charges do not reflect the conduct of U.S. Special Operators all over the world.
>"We will not allow allegations or substantiated incidents of misconduct erode decades of honorable accomplishments by the members of US Special Operations Command," Captain Jason Salata said. "If these allegations of misconduct are substantiated, they represent a violation of the trust and standards required of all service members."
>"We hold ourselves and each other accountable on a daily basis because we know that lives are on the line."
So strangling still kills people, good to know OP.
Carter Taylor
This is old news isn't it?
Wyatt Flores
Not exactly the brightest of people are they? How the fuck did divs like that manage to get into spec. ops?
Eli Hernandez
You don't have to be smart, just tough.
Kayden Lopez
Most Special Forces guys have above average IQs. The real reason is that there is a weird culture in circles of people that get paid to kill and they were likely just doing some intense hazing. Its unfortunate but I dont expect others to not do the shit they've been doing.
William Thomas
This, or Seals being Seals did something illegal/fishy and panicked when they gotr found.
Jaxson Diaz
How did they even manage to strangle this man; he has no neck.
Jeremiah Garcia
wasn't it reported that the seals/marines were stealing money from the funds used for locals, and the SF guy found out about it and refused to join in?
Parker Flores
>above average IQs the average isnt hard to beat. like half the polulation of the world has an above average IQ
Blake Jenkins
yes
Michael Reed
Hope they get a firing squad.
Nicholas Walker
glad to hear those traitorous fucks are finally getting charged. they deserve to rot in prison for what they did.
Blake Collins
Spoken like someone who has not had to work with rangers.
Andrew Smith
I'm not saying you're right. But there's a bag of money
Brandon Sanders
MUH BRAVE HEROES.
MUH SHEEPDOG
muh shut the fuck up. these murderers a bunch of low-intelligence psychopaths who deserve either death or solitary confinement until death.
Kayden Bailey
It's a shame cuz Green Berets are smart cookies
Camden Martinez
GT Score requirement for SF is 107. Been 110 forever. I'd say most people in the army score below 100. I think perhaps 1 in 10 people in my unit are qualified to attend selection based on that criteria alone. Above average in this context definitely means more than "better than half" but you don't have to be a genius.
Christian Perry
They're basically 120 IQ tier. A solid cut above normal, but probably 2 steps below seriously cutting edge intelligence.
Ryder Clark
>most people who have no options in life have a sub 100 IQ. fascinating breakthrough
Connor Lewis
>This is old news isn't it? Yeah but they've formally been charged now.
Benjamin Smith
Good, dude looks like a rat faced kike. >Inb4 muh pole! Grow up kid
Jayden King
How many have you met/worked with?
Carter Flores
I hope you understand that the guy in the OP will forever be more of a man than you or any other genetic rejects you pop out.
>felony murder in the June 2017 strangulation death of U.S. Army Green Beret Staff Sgt. Logan Melgar. >Melgar was killed in Bamako, Mali
Something is fucky guys.
I remember this happening shortly after those Green Berets were ambushed and killed near the Niger-Mali border but this article says Melgar was murdered several months before.
Some people in those threads back then suggested he may have been killed because he knew something about the ambush.
I think you can just chalk it up to your own retardation
Brandon Foster
Read again. I said I remember the story of the Melgar being murdered occurring after the ambush. This article however says he was murdered before it like you say.
Robert Russell
>Most Special Forces guys have above average IQs
These were spec. ops though, not special forces.
Joshua King
>caring about some mudshit looking subhuman
Idk why they thought they'd get away with it serving israel
Gabriel Lee
>Read again. I said I remember the story of the Melgar being murdered occurring after the ambush.
Yes, so you're clearly completely mistaken. Why do you think your vague incorrect memory is some kind of conspiratorial evidence?
Michael Foster
>10 points above requirement \ noice
Ethan Rodriguez
>Green Berets are smart cookies Why? Because of muh 0+ score in Pashto?
>Consider his death is officially recorded on Fort Bragg's local paper in June 2017
He clearly knew something about Hillary’s server in the kiddie dungeon underneath comet ping pong where the shooter on the grassy knoll was hiding after he killed Vince Foster with Elvis.
Gabriel Perry
israel wont be happy about this.
Mason Reed
>Elvis I knew I was missing something! This brings it all together.
>the average isnt hard to beat. like half the polulation of the world has an above average IQ thats quite literally the most profoundly stupid thing I've seen on this board today
Matthew Reyes
>polulation You aren't one of those with the above average IQ, sport.
Robert Peterson
This wasnt hazing, the green beret found out they were stealing money and they killed him
Luis Wilson
And yet when a SEAL gets shot and cries like a bitch who do they fucking call in? Oh yeah, the FUCKING PJS.
I thought Raiders weren't supposed to be frathouse tards like SEALs?
Ethan Bell
Stay where you are. The deep state has deployed a retrieval team to your residence.
Justin Flores
Dios mio!
Connor Kelly
I could give a fuck about being a man so long I keep an 8-or-9-figure net worth.
Brandon Lopez
Go read a book and learn something you fucking uneducated mutt.
Connor Young
SEALs are shitbags? Who ever would have guessed
Adam Johnson
>SF and AFSOC eating shit because they can't hang, the chaff of SOF Maybe because they're actual professionals that believe in what is right, are straight edge, and are all around good people that don't need notoriety or drugs to feel important. Also this
it wasnt hazing the green beret figured out on accident they were stealing the black budget cash thats used to pay off informants for intel. they tried to pressure him into joining in on the scheme but he refused and threatened to report them so they silenced him. this story is like 2 yeras old idiot
Literally retarded. Do you not know what SFG means in relation to green berets?
William Foster
>Burglary
So the Navy is still trying to save face with this? The Green Beret caught them laundering drug funds and using dope between missions.
Ethan Lee
Word in the intel community is that they killed him because he found out they were running drugs and was going to report them.
Luke Miller
HAHA good one, sir! Based and redpilled! See you on The_Donald! Praise KEK!
Juan Stewart
110 IQ is still pretty fucking stupid.
Parker Flores
"I’m fairly conservative but I’m convinced that most SEALs and other elite troops are human pieces of shit who only managed to pass psych tests to get in because they’re borderline sadists with massive egos."
t. some /his/fag after reading about this last year
>both members of SEAL Team Six, were soliciting prostitutes and taking them back to the safe house in Bamako, Mali’s capital city. As The Daily Beast reported last year, Melgar had found the SEALs skimming cash from a fund to recruit informants about local Islamist activity.
Owen Smith
I like how you are aware that the language req is abysmally low for SF lol
Lucas Price
so nowadays raiders are the SOF meme flavor of the month unit for Jow Forums?
Noah Gomez
Nah... Modern Raiders aren't even real Raiders, just cheap tryhard knockoffs.
Joseph Rogers
lel
Nathaniel Long
SEALs are wierd, they're usually the best/worst of both sides of the coin. Smart but capable of acting really really retarded.
>seals and raiders know they ain't shit >need 4 dudes to bushwack 1 green beret >..but.... but.. muh american sniper... muh seals stronk the absolute state of the Department of the Navy
Robert Smith
>mfw a few months later, more GBs got merc'd by a bunch of tribal niggers in the same country bad year for Greens
this webm always has me expecting a quote from sun tzu at the end
Easton Cruz
You shouldn't have people who are trained to kill and fight guerrilla tactics be forced to herd cats and teach retards how to actually run a country. You can't build nations from the ground up if the people don't want it. And if the people did want it you wouldn't have to build their nation for them. God i hate how the US is using the SOF these days, either they are getting killed or are being jokes to indigenous people
Adam Stewart
it's true though.
Xavier Nguyen
Do you even understand how stupid that statement is?
Jonathan Harris
Every SOF guy I've ever met was a piece of shit except the medics.
>requirements for SF is 107 GT, officer requirements are 110GT
This concerns me. I've seen some dumb officers and if they made 110, I'd hope SF would be better but theoretically not
Robert Morris
Many SEALs are fucking assholes and it doesn't surprise me that there are a ton of them who think they're above the law to the point that they murder someone for uncovering their third-world-tier levels of corruption. t. live in San Diego and know a few of them
Aaron Wood
Why'd they kill him?
Ian Robinson
He found out that they were stealing money meant for use in missions. SOF guys are shady as fuck and not in a good way.
