CLINT LORANCE IS A WAR CRIMINAL AND THE FIRST-HAND ACCOUNT FROM ONE OF HIS
SOLDIERS IS CHILLING

In July 2012, U.S. Army 1st Lieutenant Clint Lorance was leading a patrol in
Afghanistan's Kandahar province which, at the time, was one of the most
dangerous places on this here planet. During that patrol, Lorance's unit
encountered a group of Afghan men on motorcycles approaching their position in a
way the group had done dozens of times. In what he claimed was an effort to
protect his troops, Lorance ordered his soldiers to open fire on the Afghan
civilians without clear evidence of hostile intent and completely ignoring the
Rule of Engagement. Without question, making the decision to engage is one that
you have to make instantly in some cases. According to those on the ground that
day, this situation wasn't one that required immediate action. They didn't even
fire off any flares, rounds into the ground, or any type of de-escalation method
which is insanity unless the threat is right fucking now.  




Two of the Afghan men were killed in the incident, and several others were
injured. The Army immediately started an investigation after it was revealed
that the individuals targeted were not associated with any hostile activities or
threats. 

To me, what makes this trial and result so understandable is that Lorance had
only been the platoon leader for three days. Three fucking days, man. In those 3
days, there were three incidents that would give any leader or person with a
brain a big ole pause. 

1. There were several soldiers who reported them above their platoon-level
leadership instantly after returning to the FOB. 

2. The communication and relationship with the locals were completely destroyed
in a matter of days. 



3. Their stories never and have never wavered.

4. The eyewitness statements were largely taken right away without the ability
of the soldiers to "plot" against Lorance to fortify their stories. To me, that
proves the accuracy. 

Following the incident, Clint Lorance was charged with multiple offenses,
including two counts of second-degree murder. He went to a court-martial trial,
where testimony from those same soldiers who were under Lorance's command said
his claims of self-defense and defense of others were bullshit and completely a
lie.

In 2013, Clint Lorance was found guilty on multiple charges, including two
counts of second-degree murder. He was sentenced to 20 years in military prison,
dishonorably discharged, and stripped of his rank. The conviction set the
military ablaze with a vast majority supporting the conviction because the
crimes were so egregious and the fact that it is so rare… unbelievably rare… for
soldiers to turn their leadership in. 




Why? Because of the risk involved. If the investigation cracks and one or two of
the soldiers change their story, then it's the other 8-10 soldiers who are now
looking at serious charges. Why take that risk for someone you've known for
literally 3 days. Three. These soldiers simply would not do that. No one with
half a brain cell would do that especially not in a group that large. 

In November 2019, then-President Donald Trump issued a controversial pardon for
Clint Lorance. Trump's decision to pardon him came after a social campaign by
Lorance's supporters. They portrayed him as a victim of an unjust conviction,
arguing that he was a soldier who made a split-second decision in a hostile
environment and deserved a much, much lighter sentence. 

Those against the pardon, like me, believed that Trump's decision undermined
good order and discipline and basic human rights. I believe it because there
were so many first-hand accounts with credible testimony from soldiers who
served with Lorance. Those first-hand accounts are all like the ones from Todd
Fitzgerald. 

Todd went through all the details with me and they will absolutely blow your
mind especially when you find out that a convicted war criminal who committed
murders is attempting to pass the Oklahoma state bar exam. Attorneys across the
country are writing the state bar to say that Clint is not morally fit to
practice law. Hard to argue with.
