There have been some reports that the soldier had suffered a "traumatic brain injury" but was cleared for redeployment to Afghanistan.
I would not be terribly surprised, if true, that he likely was not fit for duty but cleared anyway. Further, I think the most likely result of a courtsmartial, given the political consequences, is a conviction and death sentence. This is regardless of whether or not there is any merit to any head injury.
Color me cynical.
