If he is guilty, I have zero sympathy for him.

Just think...if he was a Muslim he could have done it all legally, and with the blessings of Allah.

And he would've returned home a hero.

No more stark contrast between us and them.

Guilty on all 17 counts doesn’t leave a lot of room for doubt.

I've been out for ummm 30 some years. (Yep I'm getting old as dirt.) Is it still a choice of firing squad or hanging for military executions?

Every true soldier wants to see this mad dog expunged from the ranks of heroic military men and women who serve with honor and dignity. We will all stand at attention and salute as he is expunged from the earth.

I’m glad we are getting rid of that psychopath who gave a bad name to all the other American soldiers...

He’s out of the service. The law he violated was passed a few years ago to cover crimes committed overseas by uniformed service members indicted after they leave the service. He was tried in a civilian court and will get a needle if he’s executed.

I used to live near Ft. Stewart Georgia and met a fair amount of scum. I was beginning to think most of them were, then my P.U. wouldn’t crank. The first person to stop and help me was a soldier from Ft. Swampy as they called it. Made a change in my impression in general tho there still are a lot of scumbags in the military.

A shame. Something to be said for dancing and waiting in the dark straining to hear the “click”.

Me too, but the rope would be preferred to being strapped to a gurney and have a needle put into your IV
