In the grander scheme of things, is there a reason to care about this? I mean there's a lot of shit going on in this country, a whole lot of crimes being committed by the authorities in charge. I'm not going to list it all right here, cause that seems like a truly monumental and depressing task. But let's pretend that I did just list some of the truly heinous things that representatives of the US government are doing right now... in light of that, in comparison to all that, why does this matter to anyone?
Because when military people think they are above the law, we get dead citizens.
I think that's actually a really good answer. There needs to be strict adherence to codes of conduct within the military, or we get all kinds of problems.
At least the article suggests that the situation is mostly under control, it certainly sounds like they're going to try to crack down on this.
Edit: funny to see this get down voted. Why down vote a concession?
