The convicted US Army war criminal Trump released early says he can't get a job 'even at Walmart or Target'

Former US Army 1st Lt. Clint Lorance, the officer who in 2013 was convicted of war crimes, said it was "impossible to find a job" at a Walmart or Target, despite being granted a full pardon by President Donald Trump last month.

Lorance was sentenced to 19 years in military prison after he was found guilty of second-degree murder by ordering his soldiers to shoot at three unarmed men on a motorcycle in Afghanistan in 2012. Two of the men were killed by machine-gun fire and the third was wounded.

Nine of Lorance's fellow soldiers testified against him in his trial, with some of them alleging that he tried to cover up what he did. Lorance has maintained his innocence and defended his actions as protecting fellow soldiers.

"I made the best decision I could make, given the conditions on the ground," Lorance said on "The Sean Hannity Show" after his pardon in November, adding, "I would make the same exact decision again today if I was faced with that decision."

Lorance had served six years of his sentence when Trump granted him clemency in November. Trump's executive order — which also dismissed another war-crimes case before trial and reinstated the rank of a convicted Navy chief — cited the "long history" of presidents who "have used their authority to offer second chances to deserving individuals."

34. He could team up with Dana Loesch and George Zimmerman for a variety show!

They can discuss modern issues: "After they take guns away from crazy people, they'll take guns away from drunks" and "Why can't I open-carry in Congress?"

They can introduce Americans to new hit songs: "Floozie with an Uzi" and "Glock around the Clock"

And they can provide important information as public service: "How to avoid shooting yourself in the crotch when you practice quick-drawing your automatic from the waistband of your running shorts while standing in front of the bathroom mirror"

5. He will now get a job at a rightwing company and get paid millions

[customerserviceguy]

18. I don't know about millions

but even if he has to move, he will get a job from a Trump humper.

[bullwinkle428]

7. Murderer should be thankful he actually gets to walk free rather than being

behind bars for the rest of his life.

[magicarpet]

8. Get some Nazi tattoos,... then become a cop,....

..... you will blend in nicely at some police departments.

[SammyWinstonJack]

9. I really dont care....

[Wounded Bear]

10. Joe the Plumber is probably looking for help...

[keithbvadu2]

11. When Trump is eventually gone, it will always be: 'America condones war crimes.'

When Trump is eventually gone, it will always be: 'America condones war crimes.'

Whenever America mentions war crimes by other countries, Trump has given them a ready-made reply.

The Trump legacy.

[RainCaster]

12. He can work for a septic pumping firm or Faux News

It's the same thing

[onecaliberal]

13. Womp womp. And don't think you're getting any kind of aid.

[GemDigger]

14. Wait a minute, he just got out in November..a few weeks ago? And he has gone to and got turned down

with that many interviews? Bullshit!

[keithbvadu2]

15. Donald says Ivanka has created zillions of new jobs.

Donald says Ivanka has created zillions of new jobs.

Ask her.

[backscatter712]

19. He'll end up in ICE or the Maricopa County Sheriff's Dept...

[MyOwnPeace]

31. There 'ya go!

Maybe assigned to guard duty for "Sheriff Joe!"

GAWD, they BOTH deserve their own special "duty detail" in HELL!

[teenagebambam]

20. womp womp n/t

[Qutzupalotl]

21. He'd shoot a girl in the stomach again given the chance?

What a charmer. No wonder he can’t find work.

[Odoreida]

22. Maybe the Don will appoint him ambassador to Ukraine.

I hear there's a vacancy.

[dweller]

23. everything trump touches dies

one way or another

✌🏼

[kacekwl]

24. Does not seemed to tried very hard.

Wait until like me after over a year of looking going on countless interviews countless online applications until I found something. He's looking for a handout it appears to me. Trump will find him something I'm sure.

[JohnnyRingo]

36. I think you're pretty close.

I believe he's pursuing positions beyond his practical worth and blaming it on "the system".

Like when someone says "I can't get a job because I'm white".

[tblue37]

25. Womp womp. nt

[jberryhill]

26. Doing what at Wal-Mart?

I don’t think Wal-Mart has a lot of positions that involve shooting people.

[dawg day]

27. It's a good idea to remind people when they support torturers and murderers...

"They might come home and marry your daughter, or get a job in your workplace. How would you like that?"

[Tanuki]

28. Sounds like gofundme-bait. I googled and found multiple ones on his behalf,

with total financial goals of >$130k. He hasn't been looking for a job long enough to conclude that "nobody will hire him."

[dustyscamp]

38. Ugh I wish we could cut off the money being sent to these right wing loonies

[Baked Potato]

29. Just go away

WTF did you expect...

[jmowreader]

30. Here's my favorite part

There’s a sign in every Walmart that says they’ll hire any honorably discharged veteran who’s been out of the service for one year or less.

If they won’t hire one of Trump’s Golden Boys, Trump’s pardons really are as worthless as a three-dollar bill.

[James48]

33. That's because of the tax credit.

Corporations get a tax credit for hiring vets within 1 year of discharge.

It allows corporations to get their labor for basically half price. If the Vet is disabled, it’s double credit.

See https://www.debt.org/veterans/business-incentives-hiring/

[Tiggeroshii]

41. And yet wal mart still won't hire him.

[KelleyKramer]

43. Would you shop at a store with a convicted murderer there

[Tiggeroshii]

46. Child murderer**

And no.

[James48]

32. I don't care. Do you?

[TeamPooka]

35. Putin is always hiring killers and thugs.

[DENVERPOPS]

37. How about this

erik Prince, (Devos's brother), or the new improved blackwater group

[TeamPooka]

39. same thing

[Tiggeroshii]

40. Or as a baby sitter? Armed security guard?

Maybe it has something to do with you shooting a little girl to death you fucking psychopath...

[Progressive Jones]

44. Boo Hoo. nt
