Ok, I might have misinterpreted the article, but didn't he give up his so-called slap on the wrist to risk losing it all with the court martial? It seems to me that he would have been better off with the punishment that he was given in comparison to a court martial. From what I have seen on the news, he seemed very disturbed by the military's suggested "punishment" and for that reason he chose the court martial....maybe I'm wrong.
