a 31 year old Marine found guilty of murdering 24 Iraqi civilians gets:

Marine Staff Sgt. Frank Wuterich will not serve a jail sentence following his guilty plea in the killing of 24 Iraqis in 2005, a military judge said Tuesday.
                                                 ...

This is not to belittle Wuterich's remorse, which appears heartfelt and genuine. In a very real sense he's only a weapon, a drone if you will, operated remotely, by the invisible and unaccountable.
Who can't be court-martialed because there's no one powerful enough to haul them into court. If there was a court big enough.
