Biden’s Army Won’t Return Medals to Soldier Pardoned by President Trump For Killing a Suspected Afghan Bomb Maker
Biden’s Army won’t return the medals to Captain Matthew L. Golsteyn, whom President Trump pardoned. The young Captain received many medals, included the Silver Star, the third-highest U.S. military honor.
President Trump pardoned Army Captain Mathew Golsteyn but Biden’s Army believes they know what’s best after targeting the Captain for years. The USA Today reported yesterday:
The Army has rejected an appeal to return medals for valor to retired Maj. Mathew Golsteyn, a Special Forces soldier former President Donald Trump pardoned for alleged murder in Afghanistan. It was one of three high-profile cases in which Trump interceded on behalf of troops accused of war crimes.
The decision regarding Golsteyn, reached last June, was not announced by the Army in Trump’s final months as president but is revealed in documents released to USA TODAY.
