I don't see any whining on this board on the part of RACooper at all, nor do I see anything overarching to resent. It's true that his punishment, even with the court martial, is relatively small--less, in fact, than what Kelly Flynn received for her indiscretions (general discharge and full reimbursement to USAFA). The soldier's actions sound not unlike those of one Lieutenant William Calley--another person who received a relatively light sentence and eventually had it revoked. The rules of wartime are different from the rules of peacetime--and sometimes that turns into people receiving light punishments for heinous or reckless things.

If saying that makes me "Anti-American" in the eyes of some GC readers, then it is their problem, not mine.
