Pardons don't erase actions.
I can't imagine too many employers wanting to hire a war criminal who ordered his team to kill civilians.

This guy was not pardoned; he was granted clemency on his sentence. There is a big difference. It puts him in a basket that includes the likes of Chelsea Manning. The Dishonorable Discharge still stands.
This should be a warning to those out there that get into trouble with their conduct. Characterization of discharge matters.

LTC Eugene Chu - Hmmm... I have an article here as well as the one from the OP that says he was granted clemency, not a full pardon. I might have to dig a little deeper.
