Justice : Michael Behenna pardoned.

I agree... And he did five years in prison and I assume got a dishonerable discharge.

He didn't walk away unpunished.

Also, just a note, every other outlet I've read has said the guy was a suspected Al Qaeda operative. Many of them said that his release was ordered due to lack of evidence.

But I think Gateway Pundit changed the wording for their favor, which is why I don't like them as a source.

Regardless of the suspects affiliations, we don't just do whatever the hell we want, because that's what they do.
We're not suppose to be like them...we're not them.

And, we are not chopping off their heads, burning them with flamethrowers while in a cage, or throwing them off rooftops. In this case, the man was detained as a susupected affiliate, in a war zone, and then attacked the man detaining him. Given context, while at war, I see this as part of that price.

Play stupid war, get dead. Pretty simple.

Not even close.

If that soldier wanted to avenge his brothers in arms, he would have done so in combat; not by executing an unarmed stripped naked suspected bomb maker/supplier/middleman.
