I remember an old tv western with Chuck Connors. He was a traitor (supposedly, in this instance) and the Captain ripped off his insignia and marched him out of the fort at the beginning of every episode.
I would love to see this happen to the “Trio”. I, however, am not a politician. (Thank goodness.)
The ways of the politicians are somewhat insidious. Not usually a full on attack.
I think I'll just keep an eye on what happens to the Trio that may fly under the wire. They could well be punished and forced to put a “D” by their names in other ways that we may not be aware of. From a publicity angle, marching them out of the fort right after the cowardly deed is done might not be a good thing.
The show was “Branded”. Chuck's character was innocent but the Army did not believe it so he was branded a traitor. Politicians and honor are two things that rarely meet. I hope what is done to them is not so secret it never sees the light of day. In any case Sphincter most likely will be out whining about it what ever it is!
