Seal Team Seven member Special Warfare Operator First Class Adel Enayat has been charged with sexual assault in San Diego following an alcohol-related incident at a 2019 Fourth of July party in Iraq with a female sailor. Enayat denies the charges, which include strangling and biting, and his lawyer, Jeremiah Sullivan, says that he can’t get a fair trial anyway, not after the whole Edward Gallagher mess. (Seal Team Seven member Gallagher was charged with the murder of an Iraqi civilian, and while he was acquitted, the controversy surrounding the case was considerable.) Whatever happens in the case, the Navy found the situation dire enough to withdraw troops from the war-torn region, and now, it has taken the further step of issuing a redesigned patch for the team. Says Navy Patchman Ronald Swank, “The thing speaks for itself.”
