Staff Sgt. Robert Bales charged with 17 counts of murder
Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales has been charged with 17 counts of murder in connection to the massacre in Afghanistan on March 11th.
The US military on Friday identified the soldier accused of murdering 16 Afghan civilians last Sunday as Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, who has been transferred to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and whose four deployments over the past decade have renewed concerns about the impact of war on soldiers' mental health.
