Not everyone present at the meeting was happy to see the Pentagon launch an investigation. According to the report, some of those present did not think he crossed a line, especially in an intimate setting of "his guys."

Laster, who has since become the three-star director of Marine Corps Staff at the Pentagon, said he, too, admonished the staff members. He also recalled that Mulholland grew angrier when lower-ranking officers tried to argue with him.

McRaven retired in August 2014, and was replaced by Army Gen. Joseph Votel.

I dunno, a little insubordination evidently was present, and that set the general off.

These junior officers should thank their lucky stars they were not in the German High Command around 1944-45.

LTG was probably a little off base telling them to go shoot themselves, which I actually find kind of funny. However, the officers on his staff are supposed to push back when they think the skipper is wrong or misguided. It seems that the mistake they may have made was to do it in the group venue. That kind of stuff you do after the meeting...
