A lot of that report had me going "yeah this is not good" but it wasn't until
"I falsified the [traumatic brain injury] report that changed a distance from the IED strike [to where] one person was standing. So that way someone didn’t come back down and stick a finger in my CO’s chest and say, “You need to evac that lieutenant right now!” Because in the middle of [a] RIP, that’s not going to happen. If I do that, I’m going to put my boys in bags because they don’t have any leadership. That ain’t happening. I owe the parents of this country more than that."
That I really had to stop and stare and re-read the paragraph to make sure I understood what had happened.
That is horrifying but the worst bit is I can sort of see the reasoning behind it, but bloody hell...
