Should a soldier be excused if he went on a rampage.

Been a heavy debate in a local kiwi forum on the US soldiers killing villages recently. was 50/50 but got to heated and the moderator deleted it. lol. Most of the argument was this: The US have managed to keep there cool for this long apart from the odd killings that shouldn't of happened, that they should be excuse for what recently happened where the soliders involved should be sent home and delt with accordingly but they should note that this is war and terrible things happen therefore treatment instead of prison would be more appropriate. Imagine nearly every day seeing your fellow men some probably very close to you blown to bits or badly injured, with a country that blames you even though your trying to help them. And from all this your suppose to keep your cool. Why though take out the children. They must of been very outraged to do this. If i saw my mates go down around me, i dont know how i would react but i would be very angry. No matter how well your trained, you can't fully train emotions.
