This will certainly be a talking point in red/blue Thanksgiving weekends. Draft dodging, “AIDS was my Vietnam” Trump doesn’t really understand military culture outside of authoritarian element. Be interesting to see where this goes. motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
Trump likes the parades and the chain of command (so long as he is on top.) he does not—at all—get the sense of duty and honor and sacrifice that at its best defines military service now and here and through all time.
Military brass does not want war criminals and other bad actors to be pardoned. It betrays chain of command, it makes unit and force cohesion harder. It is not what the best of them, and most of them, signed up for.
Brass also knows that war crimes and trophy shots just makes their job harder and more dangerous.

Trump of course relates to the “shoot on 5th Avenue” bad apples they want to purge from the ranks
