The Navy lawyer faced a possible sentence of fourteen years, but the court-martial recommended only six months' imprisonment (and a discharge). It also recommended he receive pay and benefits during that time. In light of the potential sentence, that seems pretty minor, and probably says something about how guilty the jury thought this guy really was. Also, consider that the defendant apologized for it and said "The prosecutors were right" (although he didn't say that in court). In any event, the whole thing is more complex than your headline would indicate.

Seig heil Bush!
