That is sure a tough, tough call...
When I first heard about it - I thought we should just hand the guy over to the Afghans and let them deal with him.
From 1) the immense damage he did to the entire US effort; he has now wasted a lot of the good that was coming from all the sacrifices all the other soldiers have made,

There are sure a lot of great soldiers that have made tremendous sacrifices and NOT gone psycho and he has hurt all of them...
