    1. We're not talking enough about how Trump is using his pardon power to normalize war crimes. The main resistance to this has come from inside the military itself, which is necessarily limited.

        2. The military -- quite properly! -- can't make a political case against Trump. So military resistance to his normalizing of war crimes has focused on rules and procedures. But that hardly does justice to the problem.

        Yeah, that ship sailed for good with Abu Ghraib. Liberals didn’t bat an eye when Obama caged South/Central American kids.

        And for the guys ordering drone operators to bomb weddings (or thos drone operators themselves) there has never been any question of punishment. Individual murders are ghastly crimes. Mass murder is just US foreign policy.

        This is correct. There’s not enough attention being paid to the fact that the pardons have nothing to do with Trump’s faux love of the troops and everything to do with the ethnicity of the victims of these particular war crimes.

        Of course, Mike! Meanwhile, Trump reneged on promise of citizenship to green card holders who enlisted AND served honorably.

        I guess your underlying argument is "things have already been so bad that Trump's actions don't really make them worse"?
