Trump pardons 3 of our finest

[PondPopper]

Even though he tweets too much and sounds like a idiot at times I cant help but love the guy.. Go TRUMP!!!! WINNING......

I wouldn't call a soldier that posed for a pic with a dead enemy one of our finest. The other two did nothing wrong.

NOW That's a matter of opinion..

Never seen photos from WWII? Lots of dead enemy poses with our brave heros.

The tweets are distractions. Trump is hilarious at times.

He is a True American.

I cannot wait for impeachment hearings. A ton of bs will be revealed publicly.

The Schiff dog and pony show is nothing but an x-mark on a kindergarten scorecard.

Dems are crotch-deep in Ukraine corruption.

I am retired military and don't even begin to know all the details, evidence, testimony in the 3 cases but it disturbs me that our President chose to insert his authority in the cases when the military members had not exhausted all their options/remedies in the military justice system.. IMO it would have been more appropriate had he waited until all appeals were exhausted and then if he felt it appropriate, issue the pardons..

Heck, they would be sitting in prison for years to come if they had to wait for all of the governmental b.s. to play thru.

1Lt Lawrence is a killer who ordered his men to kill unarmed and non-threatening men. Every NCO in his platoon testified against him. The squad leader, a staff sergeant on his third deployment, on the ground refused the order repeatedly telling the gunner to not open fire and argued with the 1LT do let the men go.

If he wanted to appeal his conviction he could have. He didn't because his defense team told him that there was no chance of the case being overturned.

Now the media is presenting him as a hero wrongly accused and convicted. The only heroes were his squad leader who stood up to an illegal order, and the rest of the NCO's and enlisted men who stood up to testify against him.

The president is wrong on this one and more importantly is doing this only to drum up support from his base. He doesn't care about the right or wrong of this he only cares about the media impact. It's all he cares about.

Sorta surprised the msm hasn’t run with this myself...

War is a nasty business. One thing you must learn very quickly in order to stay alive is to shoot first and ask questions later. As a combat veteran and survivor I have my own strong opinions obviously. Trump did the right thing. God bless all our troops.

Lorance made the right call. Previously withheld information now confirms forensic evidence linked DNA found on detonated roadside bombs to the DNA of the Afghan men.” There were also fingerprints found linking the two men to IED's. This information was withheld from the defense by the prosecution and most likely the main reason for the pardon.

This is the main criticism that I have seen
