he doesn’t have to actually pardon him.
He can stop any investigation, stop any court martial, give him a medal and a promotion to Brigadier General if he wants to. He is the Commander in Chief.

Exactly. There won't be a pardon because there won't be a court martial. This guy will go back to Idaho and emerge, down the road, as a leftist icon.
What you say is true. Notwithstanding that, there is a term for that and it is called “undue and improper command influence.” Commanders at all levels are not to be seen as improperly influeincing the normal disciplinary processes untill the matter comes to their attention through normal command channels.
I know that this wont stop an evil malevolent POS like Obama, but we can at least highlight any such impropriety, and add it on the mountain of Obama depradations and grotesqueries.
