'As the President has stated, 'When our soldiers have to fight for our country, I want to give them the confidence to fight.'' the White House said in a statement.

Gallagher was charged with more than a dozen crimes regarding his eighth deployment to Iraq, where his behavior there had alarmed colleagues so much that they asked to meet with their top troop commander to raise concerns, according to aGallagher was convicted of a single charge of posing with a dead body of an ISIS fighter. He had been selected for promotion to Senior Chief, but it was put on hold during his trial.

"Given his service to our Nation, a promotion back to the rank and pay grade of Chief Petty Office is justified," the White House said in a statement. In another instance, Gallagher allegedly walked up to an injured enemy fighter who appeared to be in his teens. The fighter was being treated by a SEAL medic when the veteran allegedly stabbed the teen several times with a handmade knife without warning.On Friday, Trump also issued a pardon for Maj. Mathew L.
