I wish to issue a sincere apology to the good colonel on behalf of all red-blooded Americans. My dear sir, we are truly sorry that some of the left over Klintoon-trash officers were allowed to slip through the cracks. Rest assured that this flaccid non-useful body will quietly go away into reserve officer obscurity, never to attain a higher rank and subsequently asked to leave the service. Please don't regard this touchy-feely sensitivity stormtrooper as the norm in our officer corps. It takes a little time to seperate the chaff.

For those of you that think the major was treated poorly for disobeying an order from a superior officer in his chain of command, what he got was mild for such a transgression in a war zone. His stupid actions could well have gotten someone killed. He deserved non-judicial punishment and a page 13 service record entry at the very least.

I think the problem is that when asked to detach an officer for service with an ally, the US begins at the bottom of the list, and our allies begin at the top of the list.

My apologies to our friends, and shame shame shame to a slovenly REMF sho libled a better man than himself.

Disobedience to orders? From an officer? He should be glad that he was serving with the UK unit, for in mine he would be escorted to the rear under guard, with appropriate charges, to occupy the Lt Calley memorial suite at Ft Leavenworth.
