Was a general comment...………….and you know that...……...Jag officers can want power and fame just like anyone else...……….and the political motives were there to appease the politics in Afghanistan...……….I have a real hard time believing some of these folks who claim to have actually served.When you were in the military, were you taught you were sent there to kill unarmed people? I wasn't. In fact, I was taught that was murder.
An unarmed terrorist is still a terrorist.
That's as simple-minded as your previous post, which asked us to assume soldiers were sent there to kill unarmed men. There's a reason they were convicted. Trump can pardon them, but the UCMJ is there for a purpose, and it's not related to support-the-troops talking points.
I have not, btw.
So they threw these guys under a Greyhound bus for politics...……...nothing more and nothing less.
The military isn't supposed to be the POLICE...……..they shouldn't have to call a jag officer for permission to fire as they did over there in the Middle East...…………..They make snap decisions on the battlefield...…….and then get thrown under the bus by political hacks FROM THE CHEAP SEATS...…...
It's not the Cheap Seats that die when it goes wrong...…..or their people die for making the wrong decision...……….
Why anyone wants to serve under this BS is beyond me anymore.
Is there any question - from pardons to impeachment - that you guys can't address without smearing a character or impugning motives? Power and fame for a JAG Officer! What's his name again?
They are not above corruption...…….the movies about them are a stinking lie...…….
My point on agreeing with these pardons stands...………...My only complaint on it ……..What took so fing long to do it.
