Its people sat behind desks making cold hearted decisions. I know thats their job ib war time but this is different.

The army looking after its own is make belief. Nothing but a number.

thats such an astounding level of stupidity..... it really is...

I can't understand why the judge would do that.

Hard to believe. Either that is ****ed up or there is more to it.

A society where we seem to crave for mandatory sentencing and the same rules for all...means we lose individuality and instead of fairness we get "normality".

Each event should be judged on its merits and that does not appear to have been the case on this occasion, a seemingly stupid decision that needs to be looked at independently on "its merits"

Indeed. They have form going back to the 1950s. when they carried out chemical, biological and nuclear tests on unwitting conscripts.
