"Eddie Gallagher had been found guilty of posing with the corpse of an Islamic State prisoner. Though Gallagher was found not guilty of murder, witnesses testified that he’d stabbed the prisoner in the neck with a hunting knife. (Gallagher’s nickname was 'Blade.') In an extraordinary move, Trump reversed the Navy’s decision to demote him in rank."
"Trump also pardoned a junior Army officer, #ClintLorance, convicted of second-degree murder for ordering soldiers to shoot three unarmed Afghans, two of whom died. In the third case, a Green Beret named #MathewGolsteyn was accused of killing an unarmed Afghan he suspected was a bomb maker for the Taliban and then covering up the killing."
