Rapist Stays in Army?

There is probably more to this story but I find this sentencing very strange:

A U.S. soldier was sentenced to five months¿ confinement Friday after being convicted in a court-martial of raping a close friend¿s wife.

Pfc. Jason R. Warder, assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Company of the 19th Expeditionary Sustainment Command, was allowed to continue his five-year career in the Army after admitting in court that a platonic relationship with the wife of one of his friends turned into a sexual relationship earlier this year.

One night when both he and the woman were drunk, he forced her to have sex, according to Warder¿s statements in court.

This is the first time I have seen a rapist allowed to stay in the Army or receive such a light sentence.  That is why I say there is probably more to this story because the sentencing is very strange for someone convicted of rape.  However, his command could still chapter him from the Army under other articles, but usually rape convictions lead to bad conduct discharges.

Anyway, the key thing to take from this story is once again a young soldier drunk on alcohol committing a crime.  I always hear young soldiers complain about USFK policies and regulations targeted against them, but is it any wonder when stories like this committed by young soldiers are a dime a dozen?
