It depends on the results of the 15-6 investigation.
If there was negligence or misconduct - yes. If it was 'the fog of war' then no.

No, i don't think anyone should be punished unless the circumstances show that the person was drunk or in some other way negligent in his actions which caused the death of another soldier. Accidents happen and i would hate to see a soldier that is fighting for our Country be penalized for something like this.

It depends on the circumstances behind it. Things happen sometimes. Things are crazy in war. Sometimes our own people get caught in the crossfire. Sometimes the bombs land in the wrong place. It's not usually intentional. And in the few instances that are intentional, then yes... the responsible party should be punished appropriately.

If it was done due to incompetence, or with malice (i.e. "fragging") then yes, there should be a trial.
If it was an accident or because the victim was in what was formerly an enemy position and mistaken for the enemy, then I can't see the necessity of punishment.

I think it should be investigated, and if definite negligence occurred, then yes, they should be punished. But if it is found to be an honest, though tragic, mistake, then they should not be.
