If he was in charge of the unit, he should have been court martialed if civilians were murdered. Interesting if the Sarge kept his mouth shut until he got his honorable.Did he report the incident up the chain of command, to a chaplain or the IG when, or after it supposedly happened?

Medical "retirement" you mean, with a monthly check and benefits
Whether he was in charge or not, any 12-year NCO (SSgt is E6 in the Marines, right?) who didn't take any action to stop or report such incidents is complicit in them and should have been court martialed.
