re: #134 Lidane

That won’t happen. Could you imagine the shitstorm if President Obama ordered the soldier killed? There’d be skiing in hell before that happened.

My guess is that the American military will push hard to try the solider in their courts and as one of their own. No handing him over to the Afghans or anything.

You’re very likely right, he’ll be quickly and quietly shuffled back to the US, where any trial will get bogged own in the intricacies of the legal system. Meanwhile, the Afghani people will see this as just another incident of us protecting our own and riot again, with the predictable injuries and losses of life.
