The guy is a degenerate but his military service should be a mitigating factor

As a 12 year Navy vet who served 5 months in a combat zone, I fail to see how his service should be a mitigating factor.

As a USAF veteran, I do not see any mitigating factor.

I do not agree that his military service should be any kind of mitigating factor. There is some behavior that can’t be “mitigated.”

I assume you're joking.

There should be no mitigating factors for pedophiles.

Why? The one has nothing whatsoever to do with the other. Thousands of bronze stars out there, damn few of them are perverts. He isn't above the law. He needs to go to prison for a decent stay, just as you or I would.

I agree but it didn't help Duke Cunningham much.

No it shouldn't. Just because you once served, even admirably, doesn't give you a pass to break laws or be a degenrate.

So, somehow war heros and politicians get special treatment when they commit crimes—even one as despicable as enjoying, creating and distributing child porn—according to you. Please explain your logic.

Many people scream and carry on demanding to have drug addicts locked up and the key thrown away who have done far less wrong than someone engaged in pedophilia. ...

Military background or not, let the old fart roast in prison.

You do not harm kids, nor do you look at children engaging in sexual acts.

I hear the tossed salad is pretty good in prison. Ha.
