This case will teach other soldiers to carry out their duties lawfully @frank

@Ellis: In law, Terrorists are also tried in court and have the right to fare hearing. What the Soldier did is Jungle Justice

As for me, there is secrecy in sentence to death of that soldier-- May be he has known too much, though am not supporting his action but there are some officers who has done/acted worser than this and nothing happen to them. Something is fishing underneath.

Endy Edeson

@Crown: You are on point. I guess the soldier can appeal to the sentence even as acted against the rules
