Soldiers posting watches don't escape the watchful eyes of a tight chain of command.

Yep. That's why I ended my post with:

"The investigation also showed a complete vaccum of leadership on the part of General Janice Karpinski."

Then you and I are in near total agreement.

I thought that for a general she went to the media talk shows far too fast and far too often.

However, I'm interested in the captains, ltc's, and col's. THEY are supposed to be her eyes and ears.
