This young man is a representation of the USA and he did the right thing and he should not be punished for that. Cultural differences are acceptable but Abuse is NOT.

Defend and protect, right? Who is more innocent and deserving of protection than a child?

I served the Army as an Army civilian for over 32 years. This soldier deserves respect for what he did, not condemnation.

A military personnel not only vows to fight for his country, but also vows to defend those that can not defend themselves, especially true in this case. This is a classic case of leaders not leading, but rather rationalizing the so called "greater good" to not punish the actual offender. Bad message being sent to the troops (morale buster to say the least), the people of that country, and the people of our country who esteem our military as a beacon of a defender of justice. I always thought that our military held a higher standard. Moral standards should take precedence. Pretty shameful of this man's superiors to do this.

We all support what this Sergeant did to get his point across to this child molester.
Those who took the molesters side should be discharged, not this soldier, who took a stand to protect an innocent little boy and his mother.

Truly a shame that personal moral integrity is not respected in our military any more. I hope they change their finding.

He is a hero who saved a girl from rape. We need more heroes. Don't take away his career.
