| #1 As far as I'm concerned, this matter was handled well. He gets a token sentence, and is released to live out the remainder of his life in a country that will never, ever accept him due to his foreignness. Had the U.S. insisted on a stiff sentence, the Japanese would have been highly offended. Sometimes, keeping an ally happy is more important than throwing a deserter in the slammer for the rest of his life. BTW his daughters are pretty fugly. |
