Drivers who drink to excess and then get caught behind the wheel of their car are still held responsible. People who stay up all night, then fall asleep behind the wheel of their motor vehicle are help accountable for their actions, if they cause an accident.... So why should people who get blattered of their faces and urinate whereever they feel like get a free pass.... We are responsible for our actions at all times, not just when its convenient.....

I am not saying he is not responsible for his actions and he himself agrees.
I am saying though that I think you need to actively want to disrespect this soldiers for that to be valid. In other words I think he meant no malice in his actions, indeed I don't think he was thinking about it. Which makes it slightly less aggravating. This is not a evil or sick person willingly defacing a grave, it's a stupid guy doing something stupid when he is drunk.
Obviously he will have to pay some penalty but I don't think he deserves the anger that will be directed at him as if he logically wanted to make a statement about the soldiers.
