No one here is applying a blanket criticism of the Armed Forces. This is one case which is so rare that it's actually the first of it's kind in this particular war. So it's hardly as if members of the forces are frequently brought up on murder charges for fighting a war. Presumably the court process found particular reason to convict this specific case. There was been no injustice here. The description of the video sounds like a pretty clear case and the court agreed.

Plenty of murderers are not a danger to the public. We still send them to prison.
