In defence of Drebbel, I dont think he is limiting the tragedy to that of a simple statistic but making the point that In a certain population...whatever the population you will have a certain percentage of bad apples. Like in a city or 150,000 people you may have 20 rapes and 15 murders in a year. Well, when you have 150,000 troops you are going to get similar statistics (actually the percentages of crimes commited are lower for military personel from what I have heard, when this was discussed during desert storm).

If it turns out they are guilty, they deserve never to see the light of day again, or breath free air. (If I were in favor of the death penalty this would be one instance considering the circumstances where a firing squad would be in order).
