He murdered 16 people and he they want to give him the chance of parole?Are they joking?

Of course they always try to come up with an excuse.
I do not agree with what the article says feeling that other combat vets will feel sorry for him.I know plenty of guys that where in Vietnam,Iraq,elsewhere that would not find that kind of action acceptable.
Of course the officer that was largely responsible for Mat Lai got pardoned.
