His actions during a combat deployment to Mosul would divide his platoon then the SEALs the Navy the armed forces the government and even the American public when the President intervened in his trial.</p> <p><em>Alpha</em> is an examination of how culture within the military has evolved since 9/11. In an endless war without major victories the media has instead celebrated achievements of SEAL missions &#151; such as the killing of Osama Bin Laden the rescuing of Captain Phillips and the survival of Marcus Luttrell. But the SEALs&#146; popularity blinded the public to what was also happening within the armed forces. When Gallagher was accused of killing an unarmed enemy combatant it created a scandal that reached the White House and millions around the world.</p>
