Because he was the guy in charge actually present when violation of the UCMJ occured.
I agree with that Oztrich, but the point still remains-what he did isnt all that terrible. Think of what those Terrorists have done to us and our soldiers...Compare the two and what he did is nothing...I dont think he should serve 8 years....What he did isnt torture...
The liberal media made it look like what our soldiers were doing was so God awful terrible, but it wasnt...
I still think of what Kerry, Hanoi Jane and others did during Vietnam--the liberal media doesnt bring that up and hence no jailtime for those traitors...
