The American soldier

Only 8 years. I hope they don't give him any meds or a least have his victims decide if they want to provide him with the necessary meds.

There are many great Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines out there.  There are always these few idiots that smear the good names of the rest of them.

I agree that this guy deserves what's coming to him and more but don't be too quick to judge everyone in a group by the actions of a few (or one in this case). Despicable actions don't belong to any one country or army.

I wasn't busting the chops of ANY branch of the service. He will get his butt kicked by his peers!

I wasn't directing that at anyone in particular.

It's just that there's been a tendency in the last several years to paint the whole of the American Armed Forces as somehow bad due to the actions of a few.
