You would think so, wouldn’t you?
My take is that perhaps the upper echelons of the military have become so politicized that a negligent discharge down in the ranks, especially if it results in injury, could be career-ending for commanders in the O-5 to O-8 range.
The whole thing just seems insane to me, both the Fort Hood incident and this one, if it went down as being reported here. Hell, I generally don’t go the bank unarmed.
A few pings to folks - what is your take on my take above?
We just had guys killing for fun and collecting fingers.
Nothing happened to the upper echelons
Then again we had Abu Graib and they wanted GWB’s head.
This is all Political, and our guys are getting killed because of it.
