I agree with you 100%. Abu Gharib, Haditha, they were bot blown way out of proportion. An article 14 and a bust in rank would have been proper for both of these so called crimes. Just enough discipline to keep the troops in line while not bowing down to kiss the butts of the PC crowd.
However there is another case where a rape is involved. If that case is proven prison terms are justified. There is no excuse for rape .

On March 7th Marines were attacked in Afghanistan while in a convoy, they responded and civilians were killed. To pull these Marines out of country as they did pretty much condemns them for their actions.
There was a suicide bomber one Marine died and small arms fire came from various directions, I guess they should have done the British thing and given up.
I have lost faith in our leadership to lead us in war. You ask someone to fight and then you condemn them. I can't tell my son what to do, but if it were me I'd be looking for a way out.
