Why? Would you pass on the "momentary lapse in judgement" that caused a driver to crash a car whilst speeding? Or a robber to pull the trigger on a gun during a hold-up?

In Nothern Ireland during the Troubles, there were soldiers who were convicted of murder for shooting civilians in situations that make this look farcical. Their "momentary lapse[s] in judgement" cost them years in prison and rightly so.

No matter how "momentary" this lapse in judgement might have been, those kids don't look as if their father was just killed, so I don't think the message on the sign is true. In that case, why is this soldier being compared to Irish soldiers that killed civilians. So this soldier made fun of some kids. Should he put put in prison for YEARS of his life? C'mon?
