Pardoning of War Criminals

Haven't you seen men in Black. The monster was the little girl with the physics text books. So obviously a girl in a flower print anything is the threat when everyone else is wearing Earth tones. Duh.
Yeah, if the people serving with him considered it a war crime I think it's safe to assume the guy was WAY ****ing out of line.
If the people he served with rallied around him and said to the world "you don't understand the situation" then there would be something to think about. But the people in the exact same situation he was in are saying he committed a war crime.

I’ll defend him. Cuz you know, trump proposed it and I need to defend everything trump does. Pardoning him will be an honor on Memorial Day. In all fairness, the girl cited in this tweet was probably a brown foreign speaking Muslim. She wasn’t pregnant so it’s totally fine to abort her. Besides, tax cuts and conservative judges matter more. #MAGA

I’d like to know what Gens Mathis and Kelly think about this.
If our guys can commit war crimes and be pardoned, why should anyone else restrain their troops from committing horrendous acts against our troops and civilians? And on Memorial Day? Aren’t there any like legit people to pardon? Once again, Trump seems to prefer to nosedive in the sewer rather than climb up to lead.
My question is, why? Did Fox News tell him to via fox n friends? Is this part of Stephen Miller’s hope to spread cruelty?

7 fellow SEALs came out and reported him.
But republicans have gotta defend this guy accused of doing just terrible things.
Our military committing atrocities and individual crimes (rape, murder, etc.) does more to threaten the security of our nation and those serving it faithfully than any other single adversary. Those who do not uphold the values they swear to protect and defend should be held fully accountable. The hypocrisy of the United States, not just under Trump but since WWII, is a corrosive force that must be fixed.

Although it sounds terrible, I would like to afford the SEAL an opportunity to have his side of the story presented before being condemned. We have all see situations where things were not as they first seemed (e.g., Walter Scott, Smollett) and hopefully have learned it is best not to jump to conclusions. This is the reason that I don't think it is appropriate to pardon anyone before the justice system has been completed. Information could come to light that negates whatever the reason was for pardoning the person in the first place.

"Two other SEAL petty officers told investigators Gallagher bragged about slaying “10-20 people a day or 150-200 people on deployment,” court documents state."
I don't think I could ever take another life. If I ever did, even under circumstances of war or self defense, I don't believe I'd ever fully recover from it. It would **** me up.
Bragging about killing people like it's sport, especially if it really happened, is so beyond ****ed up it upsets me just thinking about it.
****ing disgusting.

From what I have seen those who have actually killed people go out of their way to avoid talking about it. So anytime I hear vets talking casually or in a bragging way about killing people two things happen simultaneously: 1) my BS alarm goes off, and 2) I think they are a pathetic person.

Different times and different reason.
While we may find Operation Paperclip appalling today, there was at least some logic behind it. What’s to be gained by Trump’s pardoning of this clown? Will it give us an advantage over the Ruskies during the Cold War?

Been looking for a clip of the West Wing scene where Bartlett say's about Wenher von Braun's biography "I aim for the stars" saying he should have added "but mostly I hit London"....
