Why We Should Withdraw Our Troops from Korea: Just the Latest Reason

GI Korea has an update on the case of a female American soldier who was sexually assaulted by a Korean soldier during an exercise.  The soldier was found guilty.  And how much time did he get?  Zip.  The 2 1/2 year sentence is an insult by itself, but the court suspended the entire sentence. 

And people ask me why I  consider Korean courts incompetent to try American soldiers.  Granted, the assault ended when the  young American woman gave her assailant a good smack, but this was an attempted rape.  The crime showed preparation, specific intent, and a substantial step toward completion of the offense.  This result is an outrage.  This man should do time, and his name should be entered in a sex offender registry.
