Posing with a trophy and the Eddie Gallagher story.
First, I just want to say that I was raised in New Mexico and going hunting with my brothers was part of my life so I fully understand why a group of hunters would gather around their kill and pose with it.
And for that reason, when you are in a war fighting for your country and what you are hunting is sub-human why shouldn't it be perfectly acceptable to pose with your trophy.
This is why I think what the president did was right. Eddie was innocent. What he did was nothing more than what anyone who hunts does and that is pose with your trophy after a kill.
Now, for my part, I would have never considered something that had yet to mature something I would consider fair game. And I know, war being war you are going to kill children. But just like I wouldn't pose with a spike buck I wouldn't pose with a 15-year-old who hadn't even sprouted facial hair.
So if I have any criticism of Eddie, while it's okay to kill them [children], it's bad sport to pose with their bodies when they aren't even old enough to sprout facial hair. So kill yes. Pose with their bodies NONONO...
And I couldn't get a photo of Eddie posed with the trophy (likely taken down) but here's his face. Like I said, no facial hair so it's okay to kill them just don't act like you are too happy to have done it...even if he was a little prick who tried to kill you just minutes before.
So PTL and Peace out...
