A 'savage' U.S. Army sergeant who shot dead three unarmed Afghan civilians for sport has been convicted of murder and jailed for life.
Army Staff Sergeant Calvin Gibbs was the highest ranking of five soldiers charged over the deaths of the unarmed men during patrols in Kandahar province early last year.
At his court martial, the 26-year-old acknowledged cutting fingers off corpses and yanking out a victim's tooth to keep as war trophies 'like keeping the antlers off a deer you'd shoot'.

He was sentenced to life in prison, with the posibility of parole after 9 years (?!). Yeah, some sentence.
