The difference is clear. It's not the same because quite clearly our troops don't go around routinely executing people for no reason. This was a rare event and the guy is being rightly punished. He's being judged and punished by standards which the other side don't give 2 hoots about and would not apply in the reverse direction. That's what makes our troops significantly better than them. Not perfect, not saints but better and IMHO some of the very best in the world.
