Exactly - sounds like he would rather shame his men, unit, country, and the entire military than go to jail for his own actions. It would be just as despicable for his Officers to have made such an order and not stand up to take accountability for their actions.

Thomas' attorneys have said he suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury from his combat duty in Fallouja in 2004. They have argued that Thomas believed he was following a lawful order to get tougher with suspected insurgents.

How do they know that isn't causing him to make this up? I am sure that defense can be used in prosecution as well. RL would know better on that.
Either way, someone died and the truth is still being hidden.
