Trump never met an American tough guy war criminal he didn't admire, especially ones who worked for Trump/Kushner/Putin associate and arms dealer to the UAE Erik Prince.

Looks like he's going to use his second chance in a positive way.
"I feel like it’s my duty to go out and do something positive and live a good life because they gave me a second chance, so that’s basically my goal.”
Bob Fosse
Well, if he refrains from committing anymore murder that would be a good start.
Will you apply this standard of forgiveness to all convicted killers in future?

2007 shooting rampage in Iraq.... Yeah, Trump picks the wrong kind of pardons. Loyalist cronies, war criminals. I could understand a drug dealer or small fry crimes that may have been given unjustly long sentences... but this is disgusting.

Ridgeway is the one guy who didn't get a pardon from Trump.
Fits the pattern: reward the criminals, screw the truth tellers.

Ridgeway wasn't pardoned?
What a Piece Of Truly Unbelievable Smanure 45 was.

Just imagine if the roles were reversed. Iraqi security detail team that recklessly shoots at American civilians, murdering dozens of them including a small child, and then they get a pardon from the Iraqi government. There would be such a humongous outrage and outcry from the same people supporting these guys here.
Disgusting and shameless.

like so many of the globe's corporations has no allegiance to any nation. It's like Trump, its sole philosophy is vulturing other people's money. Its mercenary forces, private armies, are for sale to the highest bidder. No wonder Trump gave the pardon.
I definitely think he is undeserving of clemency.
