They got letters of reprimand and their careers suffered. Enough punishment for you? Not for me either.

Scot,

Glad you enjoyed it. It is good to see leaders like Captain Swenson in action. I knew a couple like him.

If you can’t punish the guilty, merely rewarding the brave is a hollow substitute. I’m glad they’re doing at least that, but without the other it’s all frosting and no cake.

Just wow. Knowing that there are still soldiers performing actions like this fills me with such powerful emotion, i can’t even describe. My hat is off to Capt Swenson, and also to the memory of SFC Westbrook!

Thanks for sharing this Chris!
