Last week, President Trump granted full pardons for Army First Lt. Clint Lorance and Army Maj. Mathew Golsteyn, who’d been accused of war crimes. Lorance had served six years of a 19-year sentence, and Golsteyn was facing trial for killing an alleged Taliban bombmaker. Navy SEAL Edward R. Gallagher, who was found not guilty of war crimes, but still had his rank reduced, was granted clemency and restoration of rank.
Lawmakers had been pushing for pardons for Lorance and Golsteyn because they’d taken actions to defend themselves on the battlefield and were charged with war crimes for it. Yet, when President Trump pardoned them, it immediately sparked controversy and outrage.

Let me count the ways I don´t miss the Obamas and their awful circus of incompetents and hacks who have chips on their shoulders: Eric Holder, Susan Rice, Hillary Clinton with her stupid red button offered to the Russian foreigh minister, two lefty Supreme Court justices and lots of lefty federal judges of lower-rank, John Brennan and James Clapper -- and countless more of similar stature. How did America even survive eight years of that?!?
Frankly, we´re lucky to have survived as a functioning democracy. Trump may have his quirks, and he may be a tough boss, but he delivers on his promises. I´ll take it! Trump/Pence in 2020.

Soon we will change our terminology to "Before Obola" and "After Obola" Democrats have no shame and only represent themselves.

It’s a peculiar thing, the left’s moral code. Nowhere does it line up with what’s righteous and Godly. Obama undid justice with his pardons. Trump restored justice with his.

Don't remind me. Hussein was a blot on this nation in every way. Hard to believe 8 years of my life passed under his bumbling watch.

#5 states "It’s a peculiar thing, the left’s moral code. Nowhere does it line up with what’s righteous and Godly." One rarely sees the left's position stated so accurately and succinctly. With your permission I will be using that quote from now on. Thanksgiving at the out-of-town relatives this year will be a good test run. I can't wait.

Obama was a hate-filled, communist, racist, muslim who somehow, some way was inserted in the White House with orders to bring down America. He failed at every attempt and will not go down in history for his crimes, just his pathetic incompetence. America is much wiser now after having suffered through eight years of waste, lies. arrogance and greed. We won't be doing that again anytime soon, at least until the current generation of delusional snowflakes reaches senior citizen age and their feeble children reach voting age, then all bets are off.

Obama put in place anti-military rules of engagement that, no doubt, got many soldiers killed and in the case of Lorance and Golsteyn put them on the wrong side of the military justice system. The elimination of the Obama era rules ofengagement is another reason to vote for Trump in 2020.
Democrats hate the military and look for any opportunity to denigrate them and hamstring their efforts. They did this during the Vietnam war and I hate them for it. They should never be placed in positions of power.

I was very happy with Trump's pardons. Our warriors are trained to be lethal. We shouldn't punish them for killing our enemies. Those leftist lawyer persecutors never put their lives on the line, watched their friends blown away by booby traps, and strapped on explosives, and have been brainwashed to pretend they don't like violence, although the left starts most of the wars. The lawyers also do not seek the truth. They seek scalps with process crimes, because they are not intelligent, and they are lazy ---long lunches, home early, all on the taxpayer's dime.

So true. The criticism of the president in this regard shows the depths to which the left will go in their collective amnesia over the pardons issued by BO and WJClintoon.

Obama is America's greatest traitor and the media is fully responsible for all his horrible crimes. President Trump will go down in history as America's greatest hero and savior..

One of the three was on Fox this morning, he said he is homeless with borrowed clothes but someone paid his legal bills. Don't forget Clinton pardoned a number of convicted terrorists. The media & the democrat party is beyond looney.

This article does not mention the figurative public embrace (and other touchy-feelies) of the parents of Bowe Bergdahl, the deserter who cost several lives when braver, more honorable soldiers had to go look for him.

Base partisanship run amuck. If you needed any proof that they'll attack him for anything and everything, look no further. Sickening.

If you agree with President Trump's pardon of Lieutenant Lorance and the others, send him a quick THANK-YOU note... search for 'Whitehouse.gov contact us'.
I did!
I remember when Lt. Lorance was convicted by a bunch of left-wing 'rear echelon MF'ers'..... I was completely DISGUSTED by the way the Army and the Administration stabbed him in the back!
How can ANY of our fighting men have any spirit, any morale, any confidence, knowing that as they are literally shooting at -and getting shot at by- a bunch of terrorists, that there is a horde of Rear Echelon MF'ers just waiting for them to make a mistake, so that the MF'ers can send them to Prison?
Sounds to me like Obama's morale-killer on OUR guys, and morale BOOSTER for the Terrorists!
THANK President Trump for RIGHTING this WRONG!

Kinda like, as Jessie Waters stated, during the 0bama debacle an ambassador came home in a body bag, but we’re supposed to be angry because PDT recalled an ambassador who was bashing him to Ukrainian officials.

Most of these overly harsh convictions were made by officers to curry favor with the Obama administration that had a burr up its arse toward the military. Since the Democrat party dislikes the military, they would object to these pardons. The fact that it was President trump who granted the pardons, set their hair on fire.

Just hearing Obama's name nauseates me. Seeing him makes it double down. It was heard to bear through all the Clinton years, the Obama's nearly brought on terminal nausea.
