While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Republican (fascist/socialist) President Trump pardons former U.s. Army First Lieutenant Michael Behenna, who served only five years of a 25-year sentence for murdering a captive enemy combatant.

       NOTE: Trump was sending the message that it is acceptable for the U.s. Armed Forces to commit war crimes.  Meanwhile, Julian P. Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, was incarnated in a British prison, awaiting extradition to the U.s. for reporting on those crimes.
