Those who have not served under battlefield conditions, whether military or civilian, should never be allowed to judge our armed service members who are charged with misconduct while on the battlefield. Read “With the Old Breed” by E.B. Sledge who fought as a Marine on Peleliu and Okinawa. Battle is dangerous, dirty and life is cheap. Survival is partly skill and mostly luck. If we put our troops in such conditions, don’t expect them to be altar boys.
