Interesting point.

One thing I read was that the Army is actually going to slow roll the Bales trial to let emotions calm down. I think the only ones calling for his immediate execution are the Afghanis and they are not letting Army investigators have access to the "crime" scene. I have actually wondered if he will ever really be court martialed.

On the other hand, with Huessian, I'd just as soon as they dropped the court martial and just send him to the firing squad. I think that heads have probably rolled up and down the command line since so many people knew there was a problem but looked the other way. They already know that he was communicating with a radical cleric in Yemen, so they have the motive, On the other hand, if everyone knew there was a problem, yet no one did anything, there is a dereliction of duty, and probably grounds for a court martial of the leadership chain.

There was an interesting article in one of the papers by a retired Army psychiatrist saying that the tests that are done on soldiers to determine "fitness for duty" for deployment for mental health. He believes it is woefully inadequate when it comes to determining who may snap.
