I didn’t know this about him not qualifying. I kind of wish we could break some rules to try and keep people safe, though. Although, I doubt trump will honor any pardons.

Not sure about the full context of how's & why's but I'm guessing Colonel Vindman would've had to be convicted in a Military Court of Law before Biden could offer him a pardon i.e. no preempted pardons allowed for uncharged much less non convicted Military service personnel
I knew a guy who's since passed away that was sentenced to 6 months in the brig at the Portsmouth US Naval base during the mid 1960s for stealing 20 bucks while he was serving in the Navy, that'd never happen in a Civilian Court of Law
That is really harsh. My step-dad was in the Navy and did some really stupid things that got him in legal trouble. He only got extra duty and they took away his time off.
When you sign up to join a branch of the US Military you are no longer an American civilian you belong to the US Military so some of the Civil Rights awarded to US citizens in a US Court of Law are pushed aside for the USMCJ
