As a veteran I have no sympathy as murder is murder and his actions do dishonor to the military and all service members and veterans. Too bad he’s not charged with it since HE ADMITTED IT. Guess the likely Dishonorable Discharge will have to suffice.
Why is it our CIC can send a drone to bomb a target, knowing it will kill civilians, and the attitude is oops, sorry, and that is not a crime. Sometimes, in war, people just need killing. That is why it is called war, people on both sides die. The major had intell that the guy he killed was a IED maker, How many of our soldiers died because of him. The ROE for our soldiers are much more stringent than our LEO’s in this country. I have watched videos of our drone operators killing indiscriminately Afghans, hunting them down like dogs. I have no problem with that and I have no problem with this major doing what he did.
