QuoteThe White House says President Donald Trump has granted a pardon to a former first lieutenant in the U.S. Army convicted in 2009 of killing an Iraqi prisoner.

Press Secretary Sarah Sanders says Trump granted clemency to Michael Behenna of Oklahoma.

Behenna was convicted in 2009 of unpremeditated murder in a combat zone after killing a suspected al-Qaida terrorist in Iraq. He was paroled in 2014 and had been scheduled to remain on parole until 2024.

Sanders says Behenna's case attracted broad support from the military, Oklahoma elected officials and the public.

Killing terrorists is a good thing. Should be rewarded, not punished.

Thanks Obama you traitor.

This is a good move. Now, what will be interesting is how the democrats and left respond. This humble poster predicts it will be dead silence except maybe from the "New Crazy Trio" in the house.

Everyone (on the Right) know that the reason we have been winning against the Terrorists is that President Trump changed the Obama era rules of engagement and allowed the military to do their job without fear of the other enemy (Obama's team of JAG lawyers holding our heroes to impossible standard, which have no place on the battlefield).

The pardon for this one soldier is a good start.  However, there must be a complete review of all the punishments of our brave soldiers who may have violated some of Obama's nonsense rules.
How many were dishonorably discharged for doing something which is completely reasonable and prudent, given the situation?  How many received other punishments of any kind for violating Obama's rules?

Obama had more retirements and resignations of General officers than any other Commander In Chief.  How many of those he promoted to replace them were people that cared more about brown nosing Obama than backing their own troops.  The DEEP STATE IS CORRUPT and that includes elements in our military, from the General Officers Obama appointed to JAG Lawyers of the ACLU persuasion.  This is what we get when an Anti-American, Anti-Military, Marxist Community Organizer is Commander In Chief for eight very long years.

This needs to stop, now!   https://www.daytondailynews.com/news/national/trump-review-case-matt-golsteyn-army-veteran-accused-murder/ouI83M72lA3K4AcoVwmUvJ/

You nailed it, Wally...you're absolutely right.  During Obama's regime, we saw the obvious dismantling of our American culture--the complete mangling of the definition of marriage and our White House bathed in rainbow colors for so-called "homosexual weddings", schools ordered to permit boys claiming to be transgender to use girls' bathrooms AND SHOWER ROOMS in our public schools, racial tensions and divisions being exacerbated every time an altercation occurred between black people and the police--even before the facts came out, etc.  We watched in helpless rage as Obama-care became law and made health care unaffordable and inaccessible for millions of Americans, and we all watched in horror as Obama dismantled our military victories in Muslim countries with such stupidity as announced deadlines for troop pull-outs.  These were the obvious things--and they were the tip of the proverbial iceberg.  Under the surface, behind closed doors and out of earshot of the public, our society was being destroyed and our military was being castrated.  I'm not trying to be crude, but the very things you mentioned were symptomatic of an agenda: an agenda that included open homosexuality among our troops, women on the front lines, and even transgender soldiers needing massive hormone treatments and multiple surgeries (as well as ample recovery time) on the government's dime.  It's finally coming to light now--and hopefully, our nation can get its bearings and recovery from its stupor--but that remains to be seen.  It's been breathing the toxic fumes of Leftism for a long time now, and that's hard to recover from--but at least there's still hope.
