Trump Pardons Convicted War Criminals

[Mikeoxenormous]

Finally, our troops get to be as bad as the people we fight. You hear that boys? Republicans want you to be monsters.

So when some one is intent on killing you, you should walk up to them and give them a big kiss? Got it....Liberals hate our troops but love ISIS...got it..

Liberals enabled the ISIS Caliphate to expand throughout the region to its maximum size in 2015, thanks Obama

Maximum extent of ISIL's territorial control in Syria and Iraq in late 2015.
ISIL territorial claims - Wikipedia

Then Trump destroyed it. Thanks President Trump.

So, we should allow a soldier to murder people? I don't think so.

We going to let police do it too? They are doing a tough job.

We can give some leeway as to the fog of war but to pardon? To go against the military suggestions?

We had a case where a local soldier was at a checkpoint in Iraq with two others. They raped and murdered a girl, killed her parents and set them all on fire? But hey, no problem?

Do we want our troops killing people at will? I am sure mistakes are made but they is why these things are investigated.

Soldiers in combat are supposed to kill the enemy

Obama sissified the Pentagon by promoting people who share his apologetic view of America

Which put the soldiers in the field in an impossible situation

Now, just to show I am fair, I really don't have a problem with this....

Handing out murder convictions in a war zone is like handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500.

Trump Pardons 2 Service Members Accused Of War Crimes And Restores Another's Rank

President Trump has issued pardons for two Army officers accused of war crimes in Afghanistan and restored the rank of a Navy SEAL who was acquitted of murder in Iraq.

"For more than two hundred years, presidents have used their authority to offer second chances to deserving individuals, including those in uniform who have served our country," said White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham in a statement released late Friday. "These actions are in keeping with this long history."

The officers include 1st Lt. Clint Lorance who has served six years of a 19-year sentence on two charges of second-degree murder and obstruction of justice after ordering his soldiers to open fire on three unarmed men in Afghanistan, killing two of them. He had been convicted in 2013.

The other pardoned officer is Maj. Matthew Golsteyn, a West Point graduate, who was awaiting trial for allegedly murdering a suspected Afghan bombmaker in 2010. The trial was scheduled for next year.

It is great that Trump is undoing more of Obama's damage to our military.

Obama's filthy ass Muslim terrorist loving Rules of Engagement was despicable and the cause of American battlefield deaths and the cause of those two men being convicted and another one losing rank.

Everything Obama did was wrong. He was the worst President we ever had and these Moon Bats were idiots electing him. One of the first things Trump did when taking over over office was to fix the ROE. Now he is undoing the damage done by the convictions and that is great.

God bless Trump for taking care of our military.

God damn that shithead Obama for kissing the ass of his Muslim buddies at the cost of American lives.

There is a difference between what happens in combat and what happens when you have people captive.

I know we are the good guys, we are on the side of truth, justice and the American Way. What OUR guys do is excusable.

But there is a Golden Rule, treat others like you want to be treated

Other countries think they are right too. If we look the other way when our soldiers cross the line, we have no right to expect others to not do the same in protecting American captives

Can't wait for them to go kill more pieces of shit ISIL members. I personally think we should do the world a favor and drop nuclear weapons on Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and Palestine.

Kill them all and let God sort them out.

When you start applying your Golden Rule to how you treat the president, then we'll believe you don't shove a dildo up your cavernous ass while furiously typing your dribble on here.

Soldiers murder people dumbass, that's what they do, that's what we train them to do, that's what we pay them to do.

No they do not dumbass anymore than a cop shooting someone in the line of duty is murder.
Amazing the low view you people have of our military

It's justifiable homicide. A cop can kill you and get away with it if you pose a threat. Quit being stupid then.

These weren't cases where someone was murdered. These were cases where the troops came under fire...

If Trump pardoned the guys who raped that 15 year old girl, then I'd have an issue.

Firing up some enemy scouts in a war zone... that was perfectly acceptable.

.

The military has a code of conduct and rules they learn from day one of basic training. In the Marine Corps we learn them before we even fire a weapon for the first time.

These people were found guilty by their peers, in other words their own fellow service members said that what they did was fucked up.

Obama purged the military of anyone that had common sense. So now the Military Justice System is full of Political Hacks.

Do you realize how bad you have to be to be to have your own military convict you of a war crime ?

Trump is basically saying that the troops can do anything they want without fear of reprisals.

How about you explain to me why Obama forced 1000's of military officers out of the military and replaced them with his hand picked political officers.

The military justice system was ruined by what he did. He made countless other terrible changes and politicized it for his own Leftist Agenda.

I was reading about a US military guy who specialized in doing ambassadorial type work. He wrote about his first assignment in germany in 1981.

He was moving his wife and children into an apartment in Berlin?

it was late.....so when he was MOSTLY done he went to bed planning on "cleaning up" the mess in the morning.

When he woke he found the mess had been cleaned by a neighbor.

So he went to the neighbor to thank him and apologize for the mess he left.

The neighbor, an old man, was kind and friendly and said he saw the young man moving his family in, that he understood and he was happy to help.

The old man spoke perfect english

The young man asked him about that....

the old man replied "I spent time in louisiana"

seems he fought for the germans in WWII
was captured and sent to a POW camp in Louisiana
where we was treated kindly and fairly (contrasted to how the germans and japs were brutalizing their POWs)

The old german said "I never forgot how well I was treated...so now when I see American soldiers I always say hello and thank them...."

The young military diplomat was moved

and whereever he was assigned he encouraged troops to be HUMANE and CIVIL to prisoners....

noting: " if we treat them badly they won't forget, if we treat them well we can all forget and move on"

Treat your prisoners HUMANELY

don't be nazis
or isis
or conservative
