  Considering he was "crazed and broken," is his sentence justified? What does this say about the conditions of soldiers who are in the war?

  This is the sad fact of war. His thoughts and actions were most likely compromised by PTSD, and he does have a right to a fair trial. Despite the Afghan threats,if found mentally unstable he should be institutionalized. If not, I'm not sure if he deserves to escape from the death sentence.
