re: #321 Obdicut

There are other soldiers who have committed murder and other crimes that have been punished, though.
But so are other trials, right?
It’s also convicted people for the murder of civilians, though.

We’re talking about massacres. A very specific and most “visible” type of crime where we should expect most zeal in trying to punish the perpetrators. The US record is bad in this regard. It has not produced fair trials in this regard. I don’t see how other cases or trials show that this is not so.

This disturbs me, coming from you. I’ve never seen you prejudge someone to that extent before. There are possibilities that, while they wouldn’t exonerate him, would place this in an entirely different context. Like if he had been given heavy amounts of amphetamines, as has happened in the US army before, causing a psychotic break.

Obviously, I don’t mean he should be found guilty if such circumstances are uncovered.
