The judge said he would also weigh prejudicial statements made by President Trump about the case as a mitigating factor. The military is very sensitive to the issue of undue "command influence" in the military justice system. If it had not been for that interference, I suspect he would have gotten some prison time.

Agree.
If he had been put in prison he would require extensive medical treatment and cost the taxpayers millions. He now is on his own without any benefits and with a shattered mind from 5 years of torture.
