Most presidents don’t pardon murderers
Trump crossed that line this month when he pardoned Michael Behenna, who had been sentenced to prison in 2009 for unpremeditated murder in the killing of an Iraqi detainee and released on parole in 2014 after his sentence was reduced.
He's also looking at the case of Marines convicted of urinating on dead bodies and the case of a contractor, once employed by Erik Prince's now-defunct Blackwater security company, convicted in federal court of first-degree murder for his role in the killing of 14 Iraqis in 2007.
Navy SEAL Edward Gallagher is charged with stabbing a wounded man to death, shooting at a male and female noncombatant and obstructing justice while deployed in Iraq. His own teammates turned him in, but Gallagher, who has pleaded not guilty, has found defenders in the media and on Capitol Hill.

Trump is so strange. As the bone spurs president you would think he would be opposed to lots of murders and killing. But it seems he actually enjoys that stuff. Especially torture.
I am a veteran. Headquarters batteries, third Battalion 16 field artillery, eighth infantry division.
When I was in the service, the older soldiers would talk about being in a foreign country and helping the locals. I was stationed in Germany. And they hated us there. I wouldn’t be surprised if they still do.
If you murder the locals and piss on them and threaten them it’s very dangerous to live in that country you claim to be liberating. They will see you as more dangerous than the people they are being liberated from.
Funny that the party of life would be so pro torture and murder.
