Yes he should have gotten a death sentence, but in today's PC culture, which unfortunately permeated the military, that was a non starter. You would of had to of held thid trial over 35 years ago to even get a chance of that happening. We should have let him rot with the Taliban, but our then Communist in Chief decided to swap 5 high level terrorists for his relief, and then praised his service. The families of those killed and wounded trying to find him, should file a civil suit against the POS, to ensure that when this POS writes a book, or tries to shop a movie about his "ordeal", he never sees a dime.You can pretty much bet this POS is going to try and capitalize on this.
He'll probably run for senate.
