Well, that's your opinion but not what an officer, who would be intimately familiar with his performance, said about him under oath:
One of Demartino’s former superior officers, testifying as a rebuttal witness, called Demartino “one of my top sailors—I can depend on him for anything.”
And when I read this part, I laughed out loud:
He said that he and the other two Navy SEALs, McCabe and Jonathan Keefe, did visit the detention facility where Abed was being held on the night of the alleged incident. But, he insists, there was no assault. He says they only dropped by to see if Dimartino, who was in charge of the holding facility, needed anything.

Yeah, we just stopped by to see if you needed anything. (Read: they went to the brig to beat the crap out of Abed only to discover that the Master At Arms wasn't a "team player").
You know, when we abandon the rule of law, the terrorists actually win.
