We need to distance ourselves from him.

My thought is give him a Court Martial that will strip him of all rank, proclaim as part of his punishment, that he is to be turned over the the Afghan legal system (Delivery to be done with him in a Prisoner jumpsuit and NOT in ANY uniform), and after his sentencing from the Afghan courts (most assuirdly death), he be given a Dishonorable discharge.

Then I'm pleased it wasn't a Brit soldier...better the death penalty (if that is the outcome and a legal judgement) be carried out in his country of origin.
