No wonder the US has no credibility whatsoever anywhere in the world
No war crimes charges for the obvious people who were behind all of this?
Yes let’s pardon the murderers I guess he’s going to now pardon people like Jeffrey Dahmer because he killed more than one person he killed multiple so he’s a serial killer.
Not fit for duty?
The act of war is a crime it's mass murder on both sides

I think Trump is making room for the real evil, greedy criminals. So those who own the private prisons relax. Your prisons will soon be packed with real traitors,criminals and most importantly gate keeping blackmailed child predators in our system.
He's making room for the real criminals sleepy Joe hill Adam
Illegal people pardon illegal people !
Shooting at unarmed motorcyclists what a POS.. Enjoy hell
Next pardon list: Red Skull of the Hydra.
Hail Hydra!!!!!!
War crimes
Clint Lorance should still be in prison. I don't know enough about the other cases though.
What part of commander in chief don't you fake news fucks understand 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
So out Commander in Chief just cut through all the bullshit red tape and did what needed to be done!
And again……
This is why I voted for Trump and will do so in 2020!
War criminals pardoned by Trump. No wonder Americans are infamous for Mass Shootings.
Did ABC tell us Obama was criticized when he fired General McChristal? How about when he commuted the sentence of Manning, was that dangerous?
Ummm…isn't the President the leader of the military? How come they are saying that Trump isn't a part of the military establishment ? The Commander In Chief should mind his own business ? Well, he is. Why didn't the 'news' media do stories criticizing Obama when he pardoned more than any other president ? I am for pardoning b/c so many people are caught up in a justice system that is far to intrusive, but it should be reported in an even handed manner instead of always being critical of EVERYTHING prez Trump does, even after Obama did the exact same things.
These guys you talk about like scum are American heros fucked by a renagade president .Who cares who critises him .He's the president , it's his right . Election' s have conquses.
“Charged with the murder of an Afghan bomb maker” Ummm wouldn’t we call that a terrorist?? 😂 Wow!
God bless you President Trump!
All my love, Canada…💜
Like they had a choice to be on those situations.
Great step by President Trump
Everyone getting butt hurt about the pardons are not thinking about the service member. If this was your family member you would be very happy. Military Courts Martial's or trials under the UCMJ are no where near a civilian court, you do not enjoy the same rights under law that a civilian gets yet you are supposed to step up and die for them? In many cases those hurling the BS have never seen a day in combat and you believe everything you hear is set in stone but none of you were on the ground at the time this took place, you do not have all the facts you know only what the DOD press approves. It is a very sad day to see people pissed off about a soldier who gave it all being pardoned and reunited to his family, rather to you it is about the President not the Soldier. God help you all should the day ever come when we say NO, we will not pick up arms and put on the uniform and fight for you! You may have to take a quick back yard study on the art of war and go at it alone.
All is fair in love and war!!!! It’s war, it’s ugly, our troops must be shielded from prosecution! We dropped two nuclear bombs on Japan “murdering” civilians! If that’s ok how are their actions not ok?
GO TRUMP! At least he stands up for our troops!
Agree with the second pardon. For the first pardon I'm conflicted, since the motorcycle guy was an actual civilian or a terrorist? Don't know the facts on that one.
i see Trump 2020 and Trump jr 2024 2028 and liberal tears for the next decade and more!!
War is not fun. It's not pretty. and sht happens. I do not condone all the actions human beings take on a battlefield but you have to support your own because they fight for you. Do they always make the right choices ? No and neither would anyone under those circumstances.
Army prosecutors from the Obama era military actually persecuted this officer when they realized He was married to a woman. I mean a "real" actual woman. Thanks Democrats.
They might have gotten a pardon…but they will be hunted down…and they do not even know who will hunt them down and neutralize them.
I wish that issues like this were explained by
1) what really happened
2) why politically it is an issue
3) what alternative behavior is expected
I do believe that exploiting the killed enemy publicly is a big no no.. not because the enemy is innocent but because the killed enemy has friends that may want to get even. I'm thinking once the enemy is killed for the purpose of peace we are supposed to respect the dead body what is the point of exploiting a killed in action enemy .. personal privilage .. that folks is not in our political interest. But I wasn't their I have no idea what really happened but if he posed for a private pic with a KIA enemy then he should be killed too! That's my opinion. But nobody ever respects war crimes and laws!
Leftists pretend too care so much for our military they told us over and over how great these people are. Well they do whenever they are testifying against Trump. Whenever they are doing there job fighting and trying too stay alive they try and lock them up for life.
Voting for Trump = Supporting murderous lunatics. Cool.
We got a bunch of us soljiers in military prison for killing our enemies people hate us kill Americans drag our bodies in the street
DONT JOIN MILITARY
Disgusting…
unlike trump, democrats pardons are for sale that's why they do it on their last day as president.
I really wish you all would actually discuss everything in the case things that are completely omitted from the prosecution case, I used to be a Democratic Liberal, I didn’t vote for Trump, however I’m thankful he won because it has opened my eyes, guess what The American People do not all think like you, when I say you I mean New York and Los Angeles. I hope you open your eyes and realize how hypocritical you all have become
I will be voting for Trump in 2020
Don’t usually eye to eye with this president but I give credit where credit is due. Lorant ordered to shoot on men that did not heed their warning to stop. He made a judgment that didn’t have the benefit of hindsight. He and his family paid his debt to society. Major Golsteyn killed a man responsible for killing marines. I say thank you for doing what you did. Finally, Chief Gallagher poses next to a dead ISIS fighter. Have we forgotten what these animals have done to their victims? Women, children, raped and killed, some burned alive. Those men were worse than animals so I’m sorry if if I don’t have any sympathy towards them. Thank you, president Trump, for doing the right thing.
How comes they need pardoning? I did not have the impression war crimes are prosecuted in the US? In fact it looks more like they are expected. Well now that question is answered
American "exceptionalism" We can commit no crimes, and expect no punishment, excepting nothing less than a full pardon. Why not the Presidential Medal of Honor? After all, every stand up comic, rapper and ball player has one. I'm sure Roger Stone has nothing to worry about. That big smile on his face tells me he's another criminal that knows there's a presidential pardon waiting for him as his prize.
