no, he is not... from the article:
"I'm the commander. I made those decisions. My men followed my orders," Gant said, his voice filled with heartbreak. "They took part of my soul. Yeah, they did."
Seven of his young troopers were also reprimanded... in my opinion, he had no business asking them to cover for him...
this reminds me of a class we taught when i was in corporate training... it was called Situational Ethics...
“They took part of my soul. Yeah, they did.”
