Soldier pleads guilty in killing of 16 Afghan villagers

U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Robert Bales plead guilty to the killing of 16 Afghan civilians in hope to avoid death penalty. It was said this incident occurred due to Bales' post-traumatic stress disorder and sustained traumatic brain injury during a prior deployment to Iraq that the Army initially knew about. Bales lawyer suggests that the person who sent Bales in Afghanistan should be responsible. However, Afghan spokesperson for the Afghan President feels that the U.S. should implement justice and that Bales should face charges for the mass killing crime.
