While as a disabled veteran who did two tours, I have no regrets. But I also didn't disobey direct lawful orders either. While this situation seems completely incomprehensible the fact remains a direct lawful order was disobeyed, when that happens people die, sometimes our own.

Second I ...First I would like to say, war is ugly. Second I believe there were many fails prior to the said event. I agree that the victim was probably a piece if crap, and got what he deserved. But, as a disabled vet myself I ask the question "is Behenna & Warner not guilty of anything?" First fail was mansur should have never been released, second fail was Behenna should have never been given the detail of returning the Mansur to his home. I believe the direct order was to return him, not interrogate him. If we as soldiers disobey a direct lawful order there are consequence. I also agree that Behenna had stressors in an environment no one can relate nor comprehend. But if all of us soldiers ran around taking matters into our own hand and disobeying lawful order war would be more of a chaos than it already is. I agree that Behenna has PTSD and was unable to execute his lawful order, but that is merely an argument for the sentencing phase. While my heart aches for Behenna it is in my opinion he sentence was too severe. I believe the crime was actually just he disobeyed an direct lawful order and mitigating circumstance commuted sentence to only a discharge of military service.

When I took my first job as a prosecutor, I was informed, by the AG I worked for, that my job was not to convict people, it was to see that justice was done. These prosecutors forgot what their job was.AngryBellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12121915142399397657noreply@blogger.com
