Spenser for court martial.
I'm all for "blanket parties"! Lots and lots of "blanket parties"!
Actually, since they’ve invested over $100,000 into his West Point education...I think this deserves more thought.
In this case, I’d bring the young Lt to an installation and give him a one-man office (forbid him from supervising anyone), and put him in charge of a logistical function for his required service time (figure four years). Make him show up eight hours each day and be accountable for the purchase of equipment and supplies. Have quarterly audits done over his purchases of equipment. Force him to participate in the Army system and the capitalist system, with no excuses allowed.
At the end of four years, release him on schedule. My guess is that he’ll come to realize that he’s a poor candidate for communism.
How many years before this happens? Punishment should be swift & fierce.
LOL
They should hang him by the neck in the public square.
