I know a firing squad might be a little much, but at least someone should have spent time in a military prison. 8 or 10 years in a prison where they give you a sledge hammer and your job is to turn big rocks into little rocks. They did that in military prisons back in the 40's and 50's right? If not then they should have.

The good news is due to Admiral Lockwood's fight with BuOrd resulted in making the Mk-14 a very effective weapon from mid '43 on. I hope that's modeled in the game.
