So rather than just playing the "They screwed up, let's punish them and then the problem is solved" game perhaps we should instead search out the root causes of these abuses and stop them at their source.

The "root causes" are now a significant part of the two investigations. The initial story given was shaky at best and should have trigged further investigation at that moment. The investigations are looking into why that did not occur up the chain of command. Have civilian deaths simply become business as usual and our soldiers have come to act within that broken framework?
Clearly, our military has been stretched to it's limits which would support the belief that some soldiers will break and lose their moral footing. That is another aspect that is being investigated.
