Lt. Clint Lorance is serving a twenty-year sentence for opening fire on suspected Taliban scouts when they ran his check point. Lorance is one of the Leavenworth 10, referring to a fluctuating number of U.S. servicemen serving time while known terrorists are released from GITMO.
Bradley Manning gets a pardon. Bowe Bergdahl walks on a dishonorable discharge.
Clint Lorence remains in jail. Got it!
AMEN!!!!!
Time for PRESIDENT D Trump to take care of the warriors and cast the ‘social experiments’ aside and get to a level of Sanity.
From the PrePromo on SECDEF, I figured all the ‘woosses’ (not my choice of words but it is a family show) would have been shown the door by now and REAL LEADERS in their place but it appears to be samo samo with the madness continuing. That judge in Bergdahl(sp) should have recused himself as he had already admitted that PDT had a swaying opinion.
Mathis should have canned him on the spot and called a mistrial but - the Military Court doesn’t work like that so they had better have what they want in place before the proceedings begin..Then again, I guess in a Military Court it is the luck of the draw.
HOWEVER, his GCM should have been at his home base so a jury of his peers could be in place - at least a few that would argue against letting that little SOB go, then compounding it with all his back pay and promotions and he probably is considered USA(ret) rather than having the DD or at least BCD that he really earned.
Thanks for the ping.
President Trump should pardon prisoners like him along with the turkeys...
