government order punishment
Capital punishment, like the rest of the criminal justice system, is a government program, so skepticism is in order.
far games greater missed punishment rest whatever
It's a punishment that he's going to have to live with the rest of his life. To me, that's a far greater punishment than whatever games you missed or didn't miss.
punishment prison proportion
A variety in punishment is of utility, as well as a proportion.
punishment soldier guilt
Should any American soldier be so base and infamous as to injure any Canadian or Indian in his person or property, I do most earnestly enjoin you to bring him to such severe and exemplary punishment, as the enormity of the crime may require. Should it extend to death itself, it shall not be disproportioned to its guilt, at such a time and in such a cause.

A Nazi dictatorship which threatened the world. Today's Germany doesn't feel as prosperous and generous as America then. But actually, Germany still is very prosperous.
punishment government would-be
You could adjust the punishment to fit the infraction. Even a small fine would be enough to bring an errant government to heel.
