If the man served with honor and his military record is clean. What he did after his service doesn't matter

Just where do you draw the line with criminal behavior after he served?

In the wake of mass violation of women and girls during the conflicts in Kosovo and Rwanda, rape and sexual violence were for the first time codified as distinct crimes under international law. How telling then, and how troubling, that our country's policy on military burials is at odds with international standards the United States worked to establish.

The article does not establish what international standards are for military burials of convicted rapists. (I doubt there are any.) Yet she goes ahead and uses it to bash the USA anyway.

Yours is the only point that counts.

Just reading that a substantial percentage of fellows and ladies returning from Iraq have brain concusions they didn't even know they'd had.

No doubt this war is not unique.

Old friend of mine spent a couple of tours too many in the Nam. He's half nuts all the time. Has several convictions for white collar crime under his belt.

Not that I wouldn't lock him up if he hurt someone, but his service was faithful and he didn't come back whole.

I think the comment above (anything that would get the perp bounced out with a dishonorable dishcharge if done while he was still in the service) sets a reasonable criterion.
