As awful as this person's crimes are, his conviction is a good sign for the American military because most militaries around the world would not charge their soldiers for crimes similar to these. Certainly western democracies would behave similarly, but they are (by far) a tiny minority of countries.

Wouldn't msot countries have sent this to the International Court of Justice (since this is a case of war crimes and crimes against humanity)? And he shouldn't have gotten the possiblity of parole.

In most countries he wouldn't have been charged with anything
