Disgusting. This guy's 3 days in command of a platoon were one instance after another of ordering murder, and after the murders he ordered, he lied and covered up to his commanders about what he had done.
Luckily, most of the low-ranking privates he ordered to commit murder had more moral core than he did. They mostly refused his orders or "missed" the shots he told them to take at unarmed people, or the bloodshed would have been worse.
Unfortunately, one soldier did obey his order, and two unarmed men riding a motorcycle were machine-gunned to death. They had not presented a threat to anyone and were just minding their own business. Lorance threatened to murder villagers who complained about what he had done. Then he lied to his superiors about what he had done. The soldiers in his own platoon were the witnesses against him. Not one of them took the stand to support him, for the simple reason that there was nothing right about anything he did.
He should still be in prison. This pardon is a disgrace.

I'm not a military guy and don't pretend to be, but I have assisted in preparing formal requests for pardons. It is an exhausting process. Additionally, the documents are usually reviewed by multiple staffers and lawyers within the President's administration. Because the number of pardons granted compared to the number requested is so minuscule, I would imagine there is something there that warranted close inspection and approval.

Except they were shadowing the troops and the were in the fricking system fingerprinted and suspected bomb makers, kill em all.
They were also speeding towards the platoon and ignoring orders to stop, frick anyone that thinks an American should be in jail, those people don’t value their own lives why should we value theirs???
