Absolute disgrace. Several of his own platoon members testified AGAINST him.
Two military judges denied his appeal.
Trump pardons him. And his toothless deplorables just gobble it up, thinking it somehow makes Trump "pro-military" by pardoning soldiers who have been convicted in military court.
I have been watching the Leavenworth mini-series on Starz, which is about the Clint Lorance case; the series is running now, it hasn't even completed yet (I guess they'll have to reshoot the final episode now that he's free).
Several of the soldiers interviewed in the documentary series who were at the incident had a low opinion of Lorance.
Personally, I think it's possible that Lorance was under orders that others didn't know about, or was acting on intelligence that he couldn't share with the rest of his team, and so to them he looked reckless. He had only been there three days and was fresh from briefing with command, so that's why I think the rules of engagement he was operating under didn't make sense to his fellow soldiers who had been in the field for some time (trying to give Lorance the benefit of the doubt, but maybe the soldiers who had been in the field longer deserve that).
Fantastic! The sissie-waist Obama rules of engagement had to go. They defied logic. Who gives shiiht how we whack the enemy.
Having to get permission to take out a bombmaker is plain stupid.
More changes to come---stay tuned.
Well maybe the U.N. would have given us moral support in the event of another attack. Or the President of France would have wept very sincere tears. Now the world will hate us because we think it's OK to kill bomb-makers.
The moves signaled that as commander in chief, Mr. Trump intends to use his power as the ultimate arbiter of military justice in ways unlike any other president in modern times.
Don't want them to kill the enemy ? Don't send them to the combat zone !!!
EXACTLY!!!
Now the left rail against Trump for protecting soldiers!
They railed against getting out of Syria!!! OMG! REALLY?
When did liberals become the war hawks? The last time they gave us Viet Nam!!!
We have gone past the absurd and into the Twilight Zone!
