Trump working on pardoning people accused of war crimes

[Coyote]

No low to low for a man who openly admires and seeks to emulate dictators and authoritarians.

Our military has standards and codes. It is professional and strict. Something our enemies typically lack. Trump seems to want them to emulate our enemies. No surprise.

Trump may pardon US soldiers accused or convicted of war crimes – report

Legal experts cited in the report said pardoning several accused and convicted war criminals, including some who have not yet gone to trial, has not been done in recent history. Some worried such pardons could erode the legitimacy of military law.

Ain't got enough to bitch about without sniping Trump for things that haven't even happened?

Any soldier Trump pardons is AOK in my book anyway. Soldiers are there for one thing; show me an enemy that has any of THEIR soldiers locked up for killing one of us? ZERO.

So you believe our military should be held to no standards?

You are whining about something that HAS NOT HAPPENED.Again MORON Trump has not pardoned them now has he?

 

[Coyote]

It is about time we had a president that stood up for Americans.

Criminal Americans.

Those are the only ones he admires.

No. From what I hear, he doesn't really care for Obama, or the Clintons. Comey, Clapper, Brennan, Lynch, Holder, and several other criminals are NOT on his Christmas card list!

Remind me...what were they indicted and convicted of?

Bill Clinton you should know. The rest will be getting served very soon.

You don't have to be convicted to be a criminal. Is't that what all the libtards say?

Out of all those people we have Bill Clinton for perjury about a blowjob and the rest is your “any day now” wishlist.

Civilians get killed in war, that is understood. But there is a difference between targeting and killing them, and the unavoidable reality that some will get caught up in firefight.

According to the Times, the president might also pardon Army Green Beret Mathew Golsteyn, who was accused of killing an unarmed civilian; Nicholas Slatten, a former Blackwater guard found guilty of shooting dozens of unarmed Iraqis; and a group of Marine snipers accused of defiling a dead Taliban fighter’s corpse.​

I am somewhat sympathetic to Golsteyn...his situation was a difficult one and his record had many good points, but the military has its own strict boards and rules and they exist for a reason.

Nicholas Slatten on the other hand.....

This man’s actions are exactly why private contractors (aka mercenaries) should not be there.

OF COURSE. In any case where the soldier CLEARLY abused his power to wantonly murder, rape, etc., helpless unarmed people in a pattern of abuse, that is a different case and I don't expect Trump would pardon any one of them!

Clinton also got nailed for tampering with witnesses. And he was not nailed for a blow Job he was nailed for LYING under oath to a Judge.

Again so what? LOTS of people ask for Pardons I don't remember any threads by you when Obama was President and he got requests from people.

The linked piece in the OP is so short on specifics and long on hysterics and innuendo that it's GIGO...Sensationalism for the sake of it.

What can you expect, Sarge? Just like so many others here, gotta make an issue out of something that doesn't even exist. But then, a year ago, Coyote tested as one of the most far left radical people on the board. You'll never see her complaining about any of the LONG LIST of endless crimes by her party far worse than pardoning a soldier! But that is her right to think whatever way she chooses even if she doesn't accord us the same respect.

You are so full of shit about America's standards and codes...it hurts. And it is nowhere near strict...Especially in a combat zone/battlefield with combat
troops.

What do you think is going on over there...A social gathering? These guys go there with one thought in mind...to survive. They are the only
judge and jury about who is the enemy and what to do with them.

Calley and his men slaughtered an entire village. They were stopped by crews from American choppers. Only Calley stood trial. He was convicted
and sentenced to Life. He served 3 months of house arrest and that was it. You can't put people in harm's way every fucking day and think they
are going to be choir boys. The Military knows that. They usually deal with it properly. Wait till it dies down and then turn them loose.

So you admit you never whined about what Obama might do, sorry but your whining now is simply pathetic to behold.... whaaaa whaaa whaaa Trump MIGHT do something, whaaa whaa whaaa how horrible.

 

[Crepitus]

So much better when Clinton was getting paid to pardon criminals right? In this case the men were convicted not because what they did was so bad but because it wasn't PC.

Targeting and murdering unarmed civilians has nothing to do with PC.

The man he pardon did NOT do that now did he? He was a terrorist that went for his sidearm.

Link? My understanding wasn't was shot while I'm cuffs and unarmed

The Military REFUSED to allow that defense so there is no link. It was in the pardon story.

So you got nuthin'.
