If the initial report said one thing, and later investigation said something else, then at least one commissioned officer is going to get hammered.
Completely depends on whether or not it was intentional. I remember sitting in the giant sandbox when Desert Storm began (the air assault). It was simply amazing listening to the radio transmissions on operational military frequencies. I heard reports of the entire Iraqi air force being destroyed (not true), the entire Republican Guard being wiped out (we all laughed that one off), and others less egregious errors one can expect during the fog of war. Nobody corrected them on the 'Net, and I'm quite sure nobody's career was ruined.
If, however, reports were falsified...
