I don't know about God, but the guy is pretty stand up in my opinion.

What's morally right trumps all military "honor". I hope his fellow soldiers do time for their assault.

Congratulations to this soldier.
He is a man of conviction and honor.
And he'll pay the price.

[filihok]

Really? I'm the first to mention that HIS name was 'Stoner'?

Anyway. Good for him.

a great deal of self respect can be restored when some of these men hold fast to good upbringing, and a conscience not yet corroded.

It'll never happen, but I'd like to see him get a medal for his proper honor.

Looks like he's not a team player.

Musta got a D- in boot camp.

Does being a team player mean that you have take part in the murder, (for fun) of the civilians you are supposed to be protecting?

My observations have been that groups are more deficient at self-correction than are individuals.

A "team" has accumulative force and mass. And gravity.

Ever try to turn an aircraft carrier around on the Mississippi River?

Watch out for snags.
