US soldier gets 5 years in Afghan misconduct probe
None
A US Army sergeant was sentenced on Friday to five years in prison for crimes that included beating a subordinate whose whistle-blowing led to an investigation of rogue soldiers murdering unarmed Afghan civilians.
Staff Sergeant David Bram was found guilty by court-martial of most of the charges against him, becoming the 11th soldier convicted in connection with the widest-ranging prosecution of US military atrocities and other misconduct during 10 years of war in Afghanistan. (Reuters)
