For like, the war crimes and stuff. Because that seems like quite a significant factor. (Maybe this is common knowledge for people more plugged-in to US politics)

Edit - seems the answer is a resounding NO lol. I should have guessed on account of none of his defenders bringing it up.

Another edit - people, if a veteran-turned-politician said 'I regret my time in the armed forces, and the shit I saw turned me anti-imperialist' that would actually count for something. Please stop pretending that it wouldn't.

Oh that I agree with!

I think the idea of repentance is often typically something I've seen associated with guilt or remorse but not something that begets action so some of us don't necessarily associate it with that.
