Excellent that president Trump pays attention to these kinds of things among all his other major issues.

“This man is far more deserving of clemency than is that scumbag Bradley Manning.”

AMEN!

Compare and contrast a list of Anti-American FILTH pardoned by 0bama (or ANY Dem Prez), with those RAILROADED by idiot 0bama military appointments or a rouge Leftist court!

“He’d still be rotting in prison”

Per the article...Behenna was paroled in 2014

Yes, it’s quite perplexing, isn’t it?

And we have Liberals who hate our President.

Hmmmmmm.......

It’s like the liberals are on the side of the terrorists.

But that can’t be!

“FINALLY..!
What if we had no Trump..?”

Then this man who fought for our country would continue to rot in jail for doing his job. Please note that it was under Ovomit’s watch where the White House had to stick their nose into every decision made on the battlefield. Reminds me of when LBJ and MacNamara would plan the sorties in the basement of the White House, like they knew what they were doing.

Thank you, thank you, thank you President Trump. GOD’S blessings to you and your family always.

I’ve never seen his record of trial or of the evidence to support the charges and specifications, so I can’t provide an assessment of the case against him. But, I have become worried about the evolving power of military lawyers who have no experience of combat and who have no responsibility for their actions, unlike commanders. Soldiers have to make split second live and death decisions while lawyers can ponder their law books for months with no consequences for making a wrong call.

When I was a 22 and 23 year old platoon leader and company commander I had to make very tough decisions every day. I wanted to take care of my soldiers, kill the enemy, and avoid harming innocent civilians. Easy to say, very tough to do.

Soldier Michael Behenna,wrongly prosecuted by the Hamas loving Obama administration, is granted clemency by President Trump.

Prosecutors argued Behenna shot and killed Mansur, an alleged al-Qaida operative, in the desert in 2008 in retaliation for an improvised explosive device (IED) attack.
Thanks jazusamo.

Well said...I didn’t follow this closely like I did the Haditha Marine tragedy but from what I remember when Behenna was charged and prosecuted he shouldn’t have been just as the Haditha group shouldn’t have been.

Unfortunately Behenna was found guilty and I don’t believe he should have been.

Obama would have let him rot in jail. As would that loathsome creature G W Bush.
