15. apparently it's the media's fault (Kiley says)

Weightman seems like a patsy, a (possibly) sincere guy roped into taking the blame for Halliburton's incompetence.

what a mess!

6. Bring Back the Civil War Drumming Out Ceremony

This site describes the drumming out ceremony as well as other punishments as
appropriate during the civil war.

Apply as appropriate:

http://www.floridareenactorsonline.com/crimespunishments2.htm

"Other than death by a firing squad, dishonorable discharge was perhaps the least
desirable way to leave the service. In the 1860's a man's honor meant much more
than it seems to today. The disgrace of being would follow a man for the rest
of his life and he could find no peace no matter where he went.

Those who were drummed out suffered the indignity of having their head shaved,
their uniform stripped of its buttonsand insignia and paraded in front of their
comrades who showered the exile with verbal insults and profanity.
All this was done as the band played the "Rouge's March"

The men were not allowed to touch the person being dishonorably discharged
when he left but in more than one case after the war had ended, a drummed out man
was found dead after receiving a beating from his former comrades.

In the photo above this Union soldier's (he was from Massachusetts) head
has been shaved and he is wearing a sign detailing his crime as he is drummed
out of camp.  His sign says that he is charged with stealing money from
a wounded friend.

Notice that the thief's guards are carrying their muskets in the reversed
arms mode."

In the case of an officer being "read out of the army" the officer's sword was broken.

7. The ones 'drummed out' will probably be allowed to retire quietly, and

take their fat pensions with them.

[Sydnie]

8. Branded! I watched that show

I think that would be a GREAT use of the Pentagon/Miltary channel on TV!

[Roland99]

9. CNN just showed some clips of the mold-infested walls while Kiley was spinning

Kiley would be the king of the DoD Dodgeball league.
