My lieutenant lost his gas mask, and did the same thing to a specialist in my squad. After the tour they were all assigned bronze stars. For what? They rarely left the wire or took responsibility for their actions. People are selfish and self serving. The greatest example of this lies with the talking suits in washington.
You have evidence of these crimes and you didn't report it to the JAG? Why?
