The whole topic of these pardons is interesting to me. On one hand, the US tries really hard to hold war criminals responsible because it helps legitimize our foreign actions and keep international courts out of our business. On the other, it is clear the military justice system is beyond the limits of the individual rights it's supposed to protect. One or two bad commanders can simply rail road someone's career because they do not like them. I am not sure in the cases of the 3 recent pardons that they are not guilty to some degree, but the nature of the MJS causes me to doubt the findings either way.
The other day I learned if you are arrested by base police, and you will recieve NJP for the crime, you cannot view the police report written about you before you submit your rebuttle. This seems absolutely ridiculous to me. In fact, you will only see the police report after submitting a FOIA request on yourself.
