It seems that Joe Biden has given a hearty "screw you" to faithful members of his administration. For example, General Milley, the past chairman of the Joint Chiefs. While we may disagree with him, I don't believe that he did anything criminal. Except, maybe, when he called his Chinese counterpart.
The withdrawal from the Afghan adventure was a disaster, but I assume that Milley was under orders. Certainly nothing that would sustain a conviction under the US Code or the UCMJ. Why would he need a pardon? Why besmirch the honor of a career officer without good cause? Milley is now hopelessly besmirched. He has neither honor nor dignity.
While these pardons protect the crew criminally, it also removes their 5th amendment protections. They can still testify.

I wonder if Biden actually signed those documents, or was it his "handlers"?
It also allows future Gov't officials to commit crimes, in the knowledge that they will be pardoned on the way out.
While Miley may not have committed crimes (we don't know what else he's done for Biden), the others Biden has pardoned certainly committed crimes and did so for the entirety of Biden's term in office.
The were pardoned to 'prevent on-going persecution', which is a transparent attempt to gaslight their criminal behavior and signals to others still in Gov't that their behavior was condoned.
I would argue that a charge of conduct unbecoming could be considered under the UCMJ.
