Pick one:
A US Soldier today was walking through Kandahar when his gun missfired. The US Army is investing the incident.
A US Soldier today was walking through Kandahar when he saw a suspected Taliban Operative moving to detonate his suicide vest. After the soldier shot him, it was discovered that the suspected operative was in fact, not an operative. A full investigation will be launched.
After many months of blood shed, a US Soldier today suffering extreme PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome) had a complete break down and walked off base and shot an unarmed civilion.
After 6 worthless US Soldier deaths from barbaric idiots that got upset about a Koran burning, a US Soldier today decided enough is enough and went out to rid the world of some idiots.
A baby killer decided he hadn't killed anybody for a few days and went out and killed somebody else. BOOHAA!

I think most US service members go to war with a sense of honor, valor, courage, etc...
Until they face the crucible of combat, then people change.

I think most do it because it's a job and then combat changes them. I'm just basing this off those I know which is anecdotal at best.

Man, soldiers are killers...not occupiers. Give them a real war to fight or else get them the hell out of there. They shouldn't even be dealing with civilians. U.S. military totally sucks ass at occupations and peacekeeping missions.

In the Roman military they would flog a soldier for this, might even crucify him for bringing dishonor to the legion. That would certainly send a message. Line up all the soldiers and let them watch their friends be flogged in public.
Romans were disciplined, we might learn a thing or two. In the Roman army if you fell asleep at your post, your commander would hand out clubs and stones to the troops and they'd beat you to death with it. Just for falling asleep.

Morality was different then but the Romans did have discipline in their ranks during the height of the Empire. You wouldn't have soldiers sneaking off from the camp drunk to go on killing rampages. If they did, they would be crucified, beaten or flogged.

Sad all around... just going to increase tensions and probably result in more deaths.
I think this dude should be handed over to Afghanistan and let their justice take over... only real way that the issue can be resolved I think. I know it wont happen but I honestly have no sympathy for this person. Killing 16 innocent civilians... nothing can justify such action.
