Yeah I didn't see "5 years for good behavior", it just said other soldiers were given sentences ranging from 5 - 100 years, but he got the longest.

His sister's comment is what ticks me off the most. Last I checked, he had to WILLINGLY join the army (and there hasn't been a draft since... anybody? anybody? Vietnam...), and seeing his age, probably knew his chance of going to Iraq was very high when he signed up. So how is the government to blame for that? And furthermore, how is the government to blame for him raping and killing innocent people?! He made those choices!
