IF this is true, would anyone say it's an overreaction, or proper being all concerned knew this was not the way to do this, and if you're going to film it, don't post it? What are your opinions?

I'm suspicious of the article's provenance. It takes time to bust and retire a Colonel, and for the life of me, I can't see doing that for this. I want to see more sources.

1SG Dennis Hicks
SSG Warren Swan - Staff, I enlisted in Dec 1977 and retired1 April 2013 (April Fools day) Every Generation calls the one before OLD Army, I am not old Army but I learned from OLD Army. Hell I could half ass it with kids today and they would say I was mean and harder than woodpecker lips :). I was actually in the process of going back in from the retired Reserves and jump again but due to some real issues with backgrounds checks taking 6, 9, 12, 18 months its not worth it when I draw pay in Jan 2019. That would have been an interesting introduction to so many young Soldiers and NCO's let alone officers, Any legal action in the Guard or Reserves would still take time, maybe even longer than AD. While I don't like what was being done I don't think they should receive the death penalty. I am a big proponent of second chance from experience with others in uniform and personal experience, I have found that 90% of those given second chance turn out very well and learn from their mistakes. I NEVER trust anyone that thinks or says they are perfect and has never made a mistake or stepped on it. As for my Col, he was just as twisted as I am :)

SSG Warren Swan - 1SG Dennis Hicks I just can't justify killing 3 senior careers over this, in my mind. Reprimand, sure. Even Art 15 -- though I don't really think that, either. But forced out? I don't see it.

SN Greg Wright - Toxic leadership and a zero defects mentality would go right into nuke it from orbit mode just to protect themselves.

SN Greg Wright - When the Chief of the Nat Guard speaks and gets involved, chances are slim you'll be able to recover. AD gets a GLOMAR from the CG, you may was well get ready to go. You won't get any farther than where you are now unless you're about to hit retirement. I watched two CPTs at Riley get caught for DUI and a SFC at the same place. The two CPTs were infantry got their letters, were taken off our deployment, and when we got back both were dismissed. The SFC was on a fast track to CSM. He retired as a SFC due to that DUI and the CG's letter.
Sometimes you do asinine things that seem funny or not that bad,. I've done it, but my level of stupidity stopped once I found out the ramifications for what I am doing would have me with less rank, extra duty, or sent packing. In my case, I was hemmed up for a LOT less than this.

If true...it's wrong.
I don't like the way they did the ceremony (note my comments yesterday), but neither would I say it's a career-ending offense. Maybe a couple of butt-chewings by the appropriate "higher", but again...if accurate, this is overreach...
...and yet another reason I'm sometimes glad to be out.
