Did Trump pardon a war criminal? Was he framed for a crime? After this guy's fading into relative obscurity what is Yas Forumss opinion on this event?
Iraq vet here. Everyone who actually left the wire is some degree of "war criminal". It's all moral relativity bullshit.

And that's a good thing.
Jaxson Peterson
Not taking sides, just want to see what others think. I remember when this was still relevant the MAGAs were backing him 100% while liberals stayed mostly quiet
The only crime he was convicted of was taking a photo with a dead body.
Joseph Ortiz
When the book out and what's the title? Hope he goes into detail about the kids screaming for their mothers as the life ebs out of them, then popping the mothers when they run over
Grayson Roberts
>Iraq vet here. Everyone who actually left the wire is some degree of "war criminal". It's all moral relativity bullshit. This! Once you actually realize you are already dead, it makes it so much easier. The hard part is coming back and not being able to kill the dumb fucks that complain about everything.
Chase Carter
>kills everyone else >surprised pikachu face
Mason Mitchell
he didnt do anything wrong

What is the issue here? Terrorizing the enemy population is an effective strategy in war. Literally every military in history has done this.
There are too many Rules of Engagement in the US military. We might as well fight bind folded.
Matthew Miller
Imagine using words like "war crime," as if (((international laws))) on engagement in war actually mean anything
Charles Gray
I mean they clearly do, or we’d still be using mustard gas
David Parker
>war >crime for hurting people too much pick one hippy,
Austin Peterson
every soldier that participated in the war on terror is a war criminal
Gabriel Cooper
Not really it results in funny events like 9/11.
Gabriel King
the UN stipulates the rules, its to stop large developed nations from doing anything against the smaller nations without UN say so. the UN doesnt care about the US so they pretty much apply all the negatives to us and bitch when we want help with something.
Connor Reyes
We should be using mustard gas, now I dont claim to be a military or science expert on what mustard gas can do, but as a general principle, our country should be able to do whatever it takes to defend her foreign interests.
If countries agree that using mustard gas should be banned because it would harm either side too much, then countries are still acting in self interest.
But if it's just for "humaniitarian reasons," I really don't care about that.
Nathan Parker
Do you know the LA Night Stalker, Richard Ramirez? His cousin, Mike, was a decorated Green Beret who served in Vietnam and had a praised career. He excelled in military service. He was also a psychopath and had a shoebox filled with polaroids of his mutilated victims. He cut off heads of women and raped/tortured them and took the photos as souvenirs. Nobody ever questioned him and when he was buried (by then it was publicly known he was a serial killer as well) he was given a hero's burial. What happens in 'Nam, stays in 'Nam I guess?
Cooper Murphy
your just mad because you cant be as much of a chad as this man.
Mason Fisher
If I remember right mustard gas caused more blue on blue than anything.
David Foster
Agreed. this is an example of modern day hypocrisy. Vietnam was ROE mess (apparently), and I've heard that Iraq was the same old bullshit. Driving armoured vehicles through bagdhad was a freak show... and even if that hurt locker movie pissed people off a bit... it showed the freak g nervousness those guys musta felt having to watch their Ps and Qs (or Ts and A's whatever) in a goddam hostile society full of pissed off hajis. Fucking waste of our killers. Fucking handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500. No one's using chemical weapokns ... so fuck off and leave our killers alone.. let them do their job. so frustrating to watch. makes me wonder Iif it's all for show or for then jewish meatgrinder
Isaac Kelly
who gives a shit about the UN, its the only organization that should honestly dismantled and their members executed for being a waste of resources and child trafficking.
Evan Morris
> mustard gas LOL. nerve gas too.
Lincoln Price
Most Americans dont afaik. i agree
John Ross
what do ISIS and Al Qaeda do to prisoners of war? We should match their level of care.
Gavin Turner
Bruh every other country can praise its "war criminals," tyrants, and other horrible people, because they served their country objectively well, but it's wrong for America to do it?
Hell there are statues of Genghis Khan in Mongolia, a viscious brutal warlord who killed millions.
Wyatt Hughes
mind ya business
Cooper Anderson
Remind me, why did we create the UN when its precursor, the League of Nations, was a useless failure?
Owen Ross
>Navy SEAL >Now authoring a book every time
Austin Martin
we do no right my fellow burger.
Nolan Parker
This guy is a much better example to follow than Burton Toreent, for the sponge brain kidiots on this site
Jonathan Myers
Personally I think if you're fighting a war, there's no such thing as war crimes.
Jacob Miller
Then we'd ban it because it's against our military's interest. Not because of humanitarian reasons or the idea of a "war crime against humanity"
James Thompson
Holy shit based guy, id like to be in his squad. Pvt sanchez and gomez starts crying about him killing the enemy, those rats should be jailed dealt with in the field.
Angel Thompson
Eddie Gallagher did nothing wrong
Jason Morris
Most of americans are war criminals, why get so tangled up with one servant of Zion?
Jaxson Myers
An attempt at keeping tabs on the international community.
Henry White
Don't slide, that's not the point. I'm not talking about America. I'm talking about certain kind of people excel in certain kind of conditions. Retard.
Henry Wilson
read a great S.A.S. book though..... good times...
truenthogh.... every goddamn seal gotta write a book for some extra bucks
Bentley Butler
How many times do we have to cover this, all muslims are enemy combatants. Killing enemy combatants isn't murder. These aren't even human beings.
Christopher Clark
>send a man to kill people >He kills people imagine my shock
Caleb Green
Lurk more
Anthony Smith
My point was that im pretty sure thats why it was banned, it was a horrible way to go, but it didnt work the way we wanted.
