No Prosecution for 27 Murders

Apparently the U.S. Army would rather not charge the 17 soldiers involved with the 27 murders of detained persons in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now I would have thought that one murder would have warranted charges but 27? Now what possible reason could the U.S. military have for not charging those responsible? Perhaps they would rather we not hear about the fact that these soldiers were probably ordered to do just what they have done, or that the officers knew full well what they were up to but it was policy to ignore these little transgressions. In any case, now that there is not going to be any official accounting, I'll guess no one will ever know.
