You can't train young men to be fighters, send them into a theatre of war and expect them to turn into plaster saints. Any word on what the Apache gunner had seen in his time in Iraq? Any word on the stuff he'd witnessed? I know a few servicemen who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan and lived to tell the tale, and who's lives will never be the same. Where's Bradley Manning's bleeding heart for them?

He didn't make himself "judge, jury and executioner". You're mistaking him with the crew of the Apache helicopter. He didn't kill anybody.
