In this case the problem comes more from the presence of a camera. No camera no case. Sad outcome for all concerned.

Uh, what?
In this case, the problem was a soldier failing his duty knowingly breaking the law/Geneva convention, cam or no cam. You make it sound as it would have been better to sweep it under the rug. Nothing happened, move along.

Do I understand his actions? Completely!
Yet that doesn't make it right. Law is law, he knew what he was doing.

And he has been found guilty...hopefully an appropriate sentence will be forthcoming.

Yea. We want to be so perfectly correct to the enemy out to destroy our way of life.

How many of the Taliban have been convicted of doing the same thing?
How many of the Axis troops during WWII did the same?
How many of those actually hung for those crimes?
How many Allied troops did the same?

War is Hell. You kill the other side.
Given that I once shot a Guy in the foot, then killed the others that came to help him, then killed him?
I should be in prison. eh?

Should not have had that camera with you then.

Not at all. He did wrong and has been convicted for it. However had there been no camera the case is very unlikely to have come about at all.
