On the Afghanistan shooter

Regarding the alleged Afghanistan "shooter" who is thought to have killed 16 Afghan men, women and children, discussions have already begun about putting him on trial and then, who should do that trial--the Afghanis or the US with our trial system. And my first reaction is---WHOA. Stop. Holy cow. This needs to be looked into so much, it's unquestionable. With what little information is already out, it seems that this Staff Sergeant has served in 3 tours of duty to Iraq, for starters, and "was involved in a vehicle accident and suffered a head injury," recently. The fact is, we set these men up--usually young men--to kill people, put them under a tremendous amount of pressure and then get surprised when atrocities happen. There are a great many people out there, already, in the world and on the internet (of course) and some of them Afghanis, sure, but some of them Americans who have already concluded that he's a) guilty and b) deserving of the death penalty. I've heard and read these comments. A friend even said he thought it a good idea to turn him over to the Afghanis for trial. I'm of the opinion there is no possible way he would be given a fair trial there--that seems easy to see--but he may not even get a fair trial here in the States. I'm of the opinion there is an exceptionally high likelihood he went "out of his head", so to speak and believe me, I'm no apologist for the military and/or for military atrocities. Murdering innocent civilians, men, women and children is never "okay", by any means but in this case, I think time and evidence will likely show there are extremely extenuating circumstances. If anything, I think time will show this Sergeant deserves humanity's sympathy, empathy and yes, forgiveness, if anything. As it is, people here are calling for his trial while different sources in Afghanistan are already calling for his death.
