He's a fall guy. What did the others in the pictures get? The Sgt that made those 2 Iraqi prisoners swim until they drowned only got 6 months and NO LOSS of rank.
It's BS. The sad thing is these people give the 1000's of honorable and dignified military bad names. Just like anywhere else we need to uphold the laws, punish to the fullest extent based on the severity of the crime (murder is murder whether you shot and killed a man in cold blood or made them swim till they drowned).
If we catch soldiers torturing the enemy we should hold their feet to the flames and send them away for a very very long time. Otherwise, we are showing our people it's ok to do it (and yet, there is no honor in torture), we are showing our allies we do not value human life at all and that we are worse than the enemy because we claim to be morally better than they.

I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following. My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
