In this week's episode of What a Hell of a Way to Die, Nate, Francis, and Adrian discuss the recent spate of Navy SEAL-related headlines for murder, murder-ish behavior, and much more. Specifically, they discuss a recent NYTimes piece about a SEAL on trial for killing a wounded child combatant in order to take a reenlistment photo. The discussion also covers an ongoing legal proceeding for some Navy SEALs who murdered a green beret in Mali after he threatened to disclose their financial crimes.
