WHY THE PIPE HITTER FOUNDATION IS DEFENDING SERVICE MEMBERS AND FIRST RESPONDERS ACCUSED OF CRIMES VETS By Tim Cooper | January 29, 2021

pipe hitter (noun) a term used in the US military community to describe special operations personnel in the US military, such as the Delta Force, SEALS, the 75th Ranger Regiment, and Special Forces. Pipe hitters are units of some of the most highly respected, well-trained, and qualified operators. When you depend upon someone to have your back, you call a pipe hitter. — paraphrased from Urbandictionary.com

Prior to 2018, few had heard of US Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher, a guy who served nearly 20 years in the military without incident. That all changed when he rocketed to public attention due to accusations of war crimes. Among other things, Gallagher was charged with stabbing and killing an ISIS fighter during his final deployment to Iraq in 2017. He was arrested and confined at the Naval Consolidated Brig in Miramar in San Diego, California, awaiting his court-martial trial.

While he was detained, friends and family members alleged Gallagher was denied certain basic rights. In March 2019, President Donald Trump intervened and demanded Gallagher be moved to less restrictive confinement as he prepared for his day in court.

Several months later, after a 10-day trial, he was acquitted of all but one charge by the seven-member jury. The guilty charge stemmed from a photo showing a dead enemy combatant, surrounded by Gallagher and other American service members; it carried a maximum sentence of four months in the brig. Since he had already spent 201 days in confinement, Gallagher was credited for time served and released.
