It's a war, and they should be given some leeway. I'm sick of this country bending over to kiss Muslim ass. For me to say any more could be construed as hate speach, and I won't go there. The Afghan people only have themselves to blame for the misery of their occupation. That's all I will say on the subject.

I heard of the case but haven't read up on it.US soldier gets 24 years for murders of 3 Afghans - The Washington Post
Guy has dishonored the uniform. Glad to see justice being served.

Based on the little I know, I'm surprised it was this light. As prosecutor I'd have taken no plea, and gone for execution. If they had the evidence, that would have been just and justice. This comes across poorly and it could come at a cost to soldiers on the ground.

MSgt: nobody died at Abu Graib.
Beginning in 2004, accounts of physical, psychological, and sexual abuse, including torture,[1][2] rape,[1] sodomy,[2] and homicide[3] of prisoners held in the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq (also known as Baghdad Correctional Facility) came to public attention. These acts were committed by military police personnel of the United States Army together with additional US governmental agencies.[4]
The prisoner Manadel al-Jamadi died in Abu Ghraib prison after being interrogated and tortured by a CIA officer and a private contractor. The torture included physical violence and strappado hanging, whereby the victim is hung from the wrists with the hands tied behind the back. His death has been labeled a homicide by the US military,[7] but neither of the two men who caused his death have been charged. The private contractor was granted qualified immunity.[8]
and what was equally disgusting was how the Leftists exploited it for political gain.
It was an endless parade in an attempt to bring down Bush and destroy Rummy.
That is not justice, that is a whitewash and will be seen as such by the people of Afghanistan.

24 year prison sentence is not enough?
To be frank no. He should have been judged after local law and not the corrupt US military justice system. Hence it is a whitewash.
after local law???? that's a ****ing laugh. they'd have probably let him go, since he didn't kill a camel or wasn't a homosexual.
I see some people here who believe that capital punishment is barbaric, that seem to want this guy to be capitally punished.
I'm fine with putting this guy on the firing line myself. Time to start making examples.
He would have been executed for murder. THAT would be justice for what he did.
YOU said:I am all for an eye for an eye.. however, I voted no. Reason is simple, there is too great a chance of executing an innocent person in most legal systems that still cling to the death penalty.
Capital punishment is barbaric, but I personally believe if the person is 10000% guilty as this guy was (he admitted it), then it would be the correct punishment. The problem with capital punishment is that the legal system is not perfect. In this case there was no doubt what so ever it seems, hence capital punishment would have been the appropriate solution.

Ah, Manning IS being prosecuted is he not?
To be frank no. He should have been judged after local law and not the corrupt US military justice system. Hence it is a whitewash.
No, not yet. Not to mention, we don't see near as much hooplah about his crimes as we do about this ****.
He is currently awaiting trial in total isolation with no clothes or bed. Legally speaking it would be difficult to find a more extreme form of containment without outright human rights violations.
But, not currently being prosecuted. Yes?
yeah, but Manning is gay....he gets a pass. :shrug:
Yeah, and he's anti-American. A combination that Libbos can't resist.
