But General Karpinski said she was just taking orders from a Military Intelligence sergeant, right?!

She needs something more than a slap on the wrist.

But General Karpinski said she was just taking orders from a Military Intelligence sergeant, right?!

She needs something more than a slap on the wrist.

To reiterate my thoughts on Karpinski:

In the glory days of the Royal Navy, orders directing an officer to take command of a ship concluded with "Fail not in this charge at your own peril." And their Lordships were in deadly earnest about that.

IMNHO, Karpinski should be executed pour encourager l'autres.
