Joe Biden condemns Trump as unfit for command for pardoning U.S. troops

Joe Biden, whose own kid somehow managed to avoid arrest and imprisonment for his cocaine habit in the Navy, is out condemning President Trump for pardoning a few military small fry whose draconian sentences didn't match the 'crimes' they were convicted of.

Trump's intervention in the American military justice system to pardon service members accused or convicted of war crimes betrays the rule of law, the values that make our country exceptional & the men and women who wear the uniform honorably. He is not fit to command our troops.

The troops were guilty of minor offenses, such as posing for a private picture with the body of a dead Taliban terrorist, as was the case of Gallagher. In earlier ages, that was called a victory dance. The others were imprisoned for heat-of-battle crimes uner terrifying circumstances, entirely entitled to some kind of clemency given the courage they showed and the sacrifices they made. They weren't crooks out to gain something for themselves when they became foot soldiers. If these guys aren't entitled to clemency, why the heck is Hunter Biden not in the brig?

They were little guys, forced to pay a huge price, and their families were ecstatic with appreciation for President Trump's mercy shown. While Joe was condemning Trump as "unfit" for throwing them a few crumbs of mercy, here are the families Biden insists deserve no mercy whatsoever:. [...]

Suddenly this jackass is concerned about America being exceptional? What is it about presidential pardons for out-of-proportion sentences for combat vets that makes it not so very exceptional, as if he actually cared?

And speaking of wearing the uniform honorably, where's Hunter?

Unfit for command? Only if you care more about bureaucrats and overzealous prosecutors than you do about the well-being and justice deserved for the fighting troops.

Joe Biden declaring President Trump, who's just decapitated the ISIS leadership, somehow "unfit" is a real doozy of irony.

Margolies noted that sanctimonious Mr. Saint, Pete Buttigieg, also was quick to condemn the pardons for the foot soldiers.

Yet, when President Trump pardoned them, it immediately sparked controversy and outrage. Pete Buttigieg joined in the outrage chorus, claiming Trump “dishonored our armed services.”

Margolies notes that the Obama administration has pardoned all sorts of disgusting characters in its own past, people in a lot less need of mercy than these hapless troops. Private Bradley Manning, who engaged in what's historically known as treason is Exhibit A.
