Which tells me there are still some SMARTER, SANE Heads working for the DOD.
BEFORE YOU PRAISE THE MILITARY TOO MUCH CONSIDER THIS--HE DESERTED IN A WAR ZONE TO GO GIVE AID AND COMFORT TO THE ENEMY.
His action led to the deaths of six soldiers searching for him!
That the military took the death penalty off the table is the damn problem!
He was not captured--he went to join the enemy!
He should have to face the possibility of the death penalty , the fact that's rigged to be off the table is the problem.
Why let the ffing bastard live? Is there any doubt as to his actions and his guilt. -Tyr
