But better him than an entire platoon while he slept on duty.

Yes, but there should have been standard discipline first and if that didn't work a medical evaluation. And then discharge if that failed. The way it was handled was totally wrong.

Dear Mrs and Mr. parent of soldier,

We are sorry to inform you that your son has been killed. Unfortunately, another soldier fell asleep while on sentry duty in his LP/OP Listening Post Observation Post.

We home that you understand that while we disciplined the soldier we could not discharge him as he was required a medical evaluation prior to discharge.

We are really sorry about that.
