"Green was tried in a civilian court in Paducah, Kentucky, because he had been discharged from the Army by the time his crimes surfaced."

I disagree with this. I think he should have been tried in a military court, because he was under the UCMJ, when the crime was committed.

Had he been tried in a Military court, it's possible he would have been executed; as he should be.

Absolutely, as for all of them.

The Army and especially the officer corps should be ashamed of themselves for not prosecuting this. I guess it’s just too much responsibility for the Generals, as if we don’t have enough of them wallowing around.

He should of, been dragged back in. He wasn’t out. He’s a member of the militia until his fifties.

Anyways, this really shows the bureaucratic nature of the military, and responsibility dumping.
