Remembering and Thanking Veterans on Memorial Day - A Call for "Good Works" Sentencing Consideration
Especially, during a time of war we should all be thanking the veterans.
Check out Professor Berman's post about Veteran's and Sentences:

Personally, I agree with Professor Berman, that our veteran's deserve some kind of special consideration on sentencing. It seems like common sense that a person's good actions should be considered as well as their bad actions.
After all, we enjoy the freedoms we have in the country due to the many sacrifices of veterans both living and deceased. We should all be thanking the veterans, especially during a time of war.
Why should only the bad actions be considered?
