"Wouldn't a soldier be suspended"
Suspension is not killing.
You speak for the majority of Islam. Not the minority.
They still kill Gays and women that will not wear the appropriate garb.
Again, this is the minority and more fundamental part of Islam.
They are still supported by the Quoran.

that was just an allegory...
Okay, let a coward soldier back out from the battle field and see why his buddy doesn't shoot him dead!
Killing as punishment depends on the severity of the crime...for more heinous crimes the army discipline opts for court martial general!!
Nobody kills born gays...but sodomy is punishable in Islam!! You carry on if you like it, whom am I to object ?
And stop objecting to others who are not for it.
Garb is a cultural issue.....even then nobody kills for not wearing the proper garb..but mostly in some areas proper garb is a societal imperative...and if it is imposed by law women have to obey it! Local costume was banned in Afghanistan during Shah Zahir Shah's regime and all women were ordered to wear skirts.....they wily nilly did because they were bound to follow King's edict!!
Licentiousness and free sex is forbidden by the Quran....what's wrong with that???
