I figure it is better to send me who is young, single, has a clean track record and stable head rather than a Soldier with wife and kids or was admitted to the service with a moral/education waiver like Steven Green.

Plus, I believe I can make a difference.  :hug:

The guy was a 44 yo commo SGT.
Those guys never leave the FOB, never fire their guns in their entire deployment, and all they do is maintenance to our communication equipment and eat burgers.

I hope he gets death penalty.

I saw a clip on CNN where his dad was interviewed about it... while I understand the guy is obviously in shock, he spent most of the interview saying it was the Army's fault for "breaking him" and not his son's fault at all.  I was mildly offended.

If there is any crime still deserving of the death penalty, surely this qualifies.
