Ehh.. You don't have to go through any training to understand that assault and battery to the point of death are bad things. Then again, the details about the death are not in this article, but I really doubt that it is something that required more than common sense on the part of the accused.

I think you are a bit backwards on this one. I think it's sad to see army personnel committing such a nasty crime, not for them to get charged for it.
