>> They should be given a punishment about 1/200 th of what Lt Calley got for his genocide at My Lai,

Actually, you mean 1/612 th.

That would mean one of them would have to spend all of one day at home under house arrest.

Actuall, I would like to see the killers of the US soldier prisoner tried for murder, and sentenced as murderers. But it won't happen, because that would set a precedent for the trial of the US soldiers convicted of murdering Iraqi prisoners.

Calley was sentenced to life in prison, but President Richard Nixon reduced his sentence after conducting secret polls of the public. Calley served three years of house arrest before a federal judge overturned his conviction; although the conviction was later reinstated by an appeals court, Calley remained a free man. He was last known to be living in Columbus, Ga., where he was embraced by the city’s large military community. He does not talk to reporters.
