Story details here
A US soldier has been sentenced to 100 years in prison for his role in the rape and murder of a 14-year-old Iraqi girl and the murders of her family.
But under the terms of his plea agreement, Sergeant Paul E. Cortez, 24, could be eligible for parole in 10 years.
Cortez, 24, admitted he was among five soldiers who plotted the rape and murders in Mahmudiyah, south of Baghdad, last March, while they were drinking gin and whisky and playing cards at a traffic checkpoint.
Drinking gin, whisky, and playing cards while on duty at a traffic checkpoint? And, also plotting a gang rape and multiple murders. In our all volunteer military.
What happened to "Duty, Honor, and Country" as a motto?
