So let me see if I understand this, because he served in the Army he gets treatment different then I would for the exact same crime had I committed it? Why? Simply because I never signed up? Plea bargains for domestic violence?

What does serving in the armed forces give you the right to break the law? Where is the logic in that? Track Palin went into the service to avoid legal trouble, what about that? 

Instead of trying to actually fix problems and make people pay for their crimes, why are we always looking for an excuse as to WHY they did it?
