Author: Major Fred Galvin
Major Fred Galvin served over 26 years in the Marine infantry, reconnaissance, force reconnaissance and Marine Special Operations. He was selected in 2006 to serve as the first commanding officer of a Marine Special Operations Task Force which deployed in 2007 to combat in Afghanistan. He and six other Marine special operators (MARSOC 7) were falsely accused of murdering Afghan civilians.

Galvin is the author of the book, A Few Bad Men – Ambushed in Afghanistan and Betrayed in America, which details the government’s unethical tactics used during the investigation and trial in an effort to convict innocent Marines of homicide.
