“The one soldier in particular that physically engaged and remained in body contact with the elderly civilian should be disciplined. IN uniform, you will immediately remove yourself post haste and walk away from any confrontations with civilians. Period.”

Or, she did not want herself and her unborn child to be victims of the Knockout Game.

being preggers just compounds the original problem of lack of self-control under Flag. She definitely shouldn’t be physically engaging anyone, especially a senior citizen, who, sorry, is frailer.

When IN uniform, you are government-issue, one-each, representing your unit, your wing and your commander, and you will NOT violate Article 128 of the UCMJ. You WILL remove yourself from any conflict (yes, even if it means eating somewhere else) and, you will report that conflict to your commander (immediately upon return to your unit).

If a soldier cannot control their own reactions stateside, how do you think they’re going to handle civilians taunting them and throwing rocks and bottles and calling names at them in theatre? The soldier engaged in unauthorized physical contact with a civilian. End of story.
