"SNIP.....

“President Trump has requested the immediate preparation of paperwork needed to pardon several American military members accused or convicted of war crimes — including high-profile cases of murder, attempted murder and desecration of a corpse — indicating that he is considering pardons for the men on or around Memorial Day,” the New York Times reports.

1. How does this not encourage White Supremacist terrorist in the USA?

7. That's the real intent

It's ok to shoot colored people

2. GD SOB.. what a message this is sending the military and the world...

Karma... we need you quickly!

3. A crime is a crime no matter who or why it is done. I'm tired of this type of

justice where we pick and choose who can commit a crime and who cannot. It is wrong.

4. He thinks it will bring out the vets in 2020

[bitterross]

5. That's my thinking too

The thing is, I don't think it will bring out vets who don't already support him. I read a couple of articles on these guys. They don't seem to be your run of the mill person who made a mistake. They seem to be people who think they were ordained with some powers they were not.

I don't see that as appealing to the run of the mill soldier.

There is a huge difference between supporting the troops and supporting murderers.

6. He just declared "open season" on all our military personnel

9. He has rationalized that it's ok for the enemy to do the same to our troops.

10. Only if they're white, right?

Especially if they look purty in uniform.
Black or Hispanic soldiers will be on their own.
