The case is likely to stoke the long-standing local opposition to US military presence.

    Glad to see that the US military seems to be cooperating with the investigation, at least.

    The US military’s refusals in the past to hand over one of their own hurts their credibility and their soft power. No one is above the law, not even the military.

      This soldier won’t see real repercussions for this. At worst he will he courmarshalled and get a dishonorable discharge and nothing else.

        Uh… A court martial is typically equivalent to a felony. If you’re found guilty it’s often associated with prison time and civilian felony statuses.
