So we should just kill him?
The Ft. Hood shooter gets a trial, a jury, a lawyer.
You (and Panetta, Obama) just want to string him up.
Go get 'em, tiger!

I have seen people die in front of me from bleeding out, using combat as an excuse to kill innocent people is not justifiable. There are many soldiers who get their legs blown off and do not go around killing innocent women and children. They volunteered for the job and they knew the consequences and hardships that they had to endure. Some of them thought oh we were gonna go in their and get those afghans that did 9.11 only to find out that they were guarding the poppy fields and to get their leg blown off from a walmart constructed IED in the face of millions of dollars of training.
Itzcoatl Ocampo’s alleged victims include four homeless men. Now, a secret grand jury transcript obtained by the Orange County Register reveals that 23-year-old Ocampo joined the Marines to become a killer and was disappointed when he spent his time in Iraq driving a truck.

The guy deserves the death penalty no doubt , but he absolutely snapped because no one normal does such a heinous act . The only sane people that kill woman in children are the ones that do it in the name of religion , these factions that blow up car bombs in market areas during the height of shopping time call their acts just because it is Jihad .

So it is the OPs contention that people in the military do not go crazy? Serial killers plan out what they do, does that make them not crazy? Clealy the guy is sick in the head.

If you do it in the name of religion it's sane???? What a cop out. Pulling out a old card now. He deserves the death penalty? You make that snap judgement based on what you have been told?!? So far I have heard via the media he was a sniper and here I read he was remf or a truck driver. We have no facts just heresay. I'd like to know the results of a psyche evaluation before jumping the gun.
CNN and other mainstream media are pulling the PTSD card trying to make people think this guy just 'snapped' etc. That this was just a instant decision and that led to the massacre of the innocent Afghanis. Somehow that walking door to door with NVG on your head, and methodically killing everyone, putting them in a pile was not premeditated is preposterous. I hope this guy gets death

Updated at 8:01 a.m. ET: The case against the U.S. soldier accused of killing 16 Afghan villagers is "more political than legal" and the defense will likely focus on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), his lawyer told NBC News on Friday. Attorney John Henry Browne, who is representing the soldier, said the suspect had been training to become a military recruiter after four tours of duty in Iraq but had been ordered to return to Afghanistan "overnight." "There will be efforts to paint him as a rogue soldier rather than focusing on how we treat GIs in general or whether we should be over there to begin with," he told TODAY’s Matt Lauer in an exclusive interview.
