looked into as well. It sounds like to me there is a breakdown
someplace in the chain. But then, I also don't have all the facts
either, so I would have to reserve judgement for another time...

I saw a report that the Company CO asked to be relieved. Usually that's
followed by some inquiry into the officer's conduct, but I haven't
heard anything about that. I agree with you that there is a serious
breakdown here. How does a CO get so distant from her troops that she
has no inkling of what they are thinking? How bad is it when sergeants
think that their best option is mutiny? (And it was mutiny. The order
was clearly lawful, might be dumb, but lawful.)
