I've only been loosely following this story. I don't really know the details, but this article touched on an unfortunate truth regardless of Gllagher's guilt or innocence; the process has become the punishment. The concept of 'innocent until proven guilty' is of little consolation when your life gets ripped apart and flipped upside down while you're still presumed innocent.

I wish he would have explained what the motive is for the accusers, but could he have done so without facing libel and slander charges?

Yet, despite a pristine record and reputation, Eddie now stands wrongfully accused of war crimes – of killing a dying ISIS fighter on the battlefield – though there has never been evidence to prove it. As a matter of fact, there are mounds of evidence that exonerate him. Investigators have heard from eyewitnesses who say it the event never happened. There is video and photographic evidence that clearly calls into question the accusations. There is also well-documented motive for his accusers to fabricate stories.
