Colonel in 'Dino Puppet' Video Speaks: 'I Was Given a Death Sentence'

This was overkill. That wasn't even the actual reenlistment from what I've read. It was something she did for her kids and after they did an actual reenlistment. Poor choices? Yes. Career killer? No. If they had just waited a few days like he said it would have blown over.

But I suppose a puppet during your oath is sooo much more worse than sexual assaults and DUIs...

While the ceremony was tasteless to post on SM, the punishments and destruction that followed was uncalled for, this is all cover your ass actions which only to serve as examples of why troops and leaders leave. This should have been handled much better but the damage is done and the collateral damage will last for some time. LOR's would have been more than sufficient and actually served as a warning but Toxic leadership wins again. Nobody wants to take a round for their troops anymore.

I would assume taking the oath is either one of or the most "serious," thing(s) you can do in the military. Speaking from an Army perspective, whenever the brigade commander (Colonel) is in the building or around, all joking stops, period!!! Maybe I'm reading too much into this but for me, if you're going to take the oath, you're going to do it right and not disrespect it in anyway.
