[William Terrell]

And the first sergant says the troops agree with and celebrate punishment for Col. West?

[Ispy4u]

No one is celebrating punishment.

The way the troops see it he lost his discipline. Plain and simple, everyone who has been in any branch of the military knows that nothing good comes from losing your discipline.

Argue it to the death if you want but every successful army in history has been successful because of, not in spite of, discipline.
