Got caught sleeping...There aren’t any of us who’ve been in the military who don’t realize that if you nod off you NEED to be gob-smacked. There are times you just can’t do that.

Even when driving down the road as a civilian here at home, if you start to nod, you want your wife or kid or someone to get direct and force you to pull over a switch drivers. It’s too dangerous a situation for you to be nodding off.

Sleeping on watch in a war theater is I believe a capital offense. It risks the lives of other soldiers. I believe if sleeping on watch is proven to lead to the deaths of other soldiers, then death by firing squad is the likely outcome. Bergdahl’s punishment was relatively light.
