For anyone unfamiliar with this case, let me summarize:

This is former Lt. Clint Lorance. While serving as commander of a troop of soldiers in the Kandahar Province in southern Afghanistan and in a hostile zone where intelligence said there were known insurgents (and their troop had previously been attacked in the same location) he order his troop to fire on 3 "civilians" on a motorcycle. Three fighting-age men on a motorcycle approached his troop and they killed them. The soldiers under his command weren't charged with any crimes when it was revealed the apparent insurgents were unarmed, but 9 of them testified against him and received immunity for it. The incident happened in 2012 and he was sentenced to 20 years in 2013.

THEN IN 2015 INTELLIGENCE WAS REVEALED WHICH WAS WITHHELD FROM HIS COURTMARTIAL THAT PROVED THAT ALL THREE "CIVILIANS" HAD TIES TO THE TALIBAN AND 2 OF THEM HAD LITERALLY CONDUCTED ATTACKS AGAINST AMERICAN SOLDIERS!!

Trump did the right thing by pardoning this patriot.

So can we turn around and charge the 9 commie scumbags who testified against this patriot?

And everyone in the chain of command including prosecution that led up to that atrocity.

This dude came through my unit after i got out. The privates that i trained were now NCO's. They all testified against him, they all tell me he is guilty as shit. Take that for what you will.
