110 year sentence (or 10 for good behavior)

[Lady's Human]

One comment on the sentence......

His time will be in a military prison, where he will not have the rights of a normal prisoner.

The Parole Board he will face in 10 years IF he is allowed to go before it will not be a normal parole board, but a military parole board.

He has a snowball's chance in hades of ever being free again.

What this man, soldier or not, has done is inexcusably wrong and I truly hope he and those involved serve their full sentences.

That said I have lost two friends that I went to high school with; one in Iraq and the other in Afghanistan. I know a number of people that are serving in the armed forces, mostly in the Marines. I live in a military city and some of the comments made here are despicable. I'll make sure to salute the Marine pilots that fly over my work daily; I work alongside Marine corps air station, Miramar.

IRescue452, next time you make blanket statements about "these people", United States Armed Forces, remember that you include my grandparents, great uncles, my father, and my friends. Here's one of "these people's" memorials. Spc. Michael A. Diraimondo . Mike was assigned to 571st Medical Company and lost his life in 2004 when his Medevac helicopter went down in Iraq. His mission was to save lives and he lost his serving his country. Take a good look at his picture and know that I consider him one of "these people", but to me "these people" are heroes, family, and friends.

Everyone has a right to their own opinions formed from their experiences, so I figured I would share mine. Did this thread hit a nerve? Oh yea! I hate that there are bad soldiers and bad people in general, but for every sick, cruel, misguided person there are thousands that are truly good and don't deserve to be lumped together under one broad term.
