There isn't a point in having a military if what we protect is exactly everything we're against.
I could understand your point of view if it weren't for the fact that he was, in the first place, ordered not to report it. Also, I think you're forgetting something very important here.
It was his duty as a soldier of the United States Military to disobey that order. If he would have obeyed it then he would be directly disobeying a far higher order: his oath to his country.

This incident was not an unlawful order to his country. This incident had occurred elsewhere, off American soil, and does not involve America personally. There is noting unlawful with disregarding what another country's people do.

I didn't know the UN didn't regard pedophilia a crime against humanity.

Anger and disgust for realizing that this whole time he's been protecting child rapists. Honestly, something that would've warranted a review and possible consequences, but instead he got immediate discharge for not following an order.
