Agree with the comments above that his sentence is not long enough, however, in reality his personal sentence will be longer. Loss of job, loss of military pension, loss of wife, loss of credibility, his name forever searchable on Google - what a fool.
It is an indicator of the culture prevalent in the military, that these people walk among us largely unchallenged. Continuing to be promoted and put in posts that one would think are reserved for top tier individuals.

Maybe the saying "all the good ones get out as corporals and captains" is as relevant as it was when I first heard it nearly 20 years ago.
