    Here's a very similar scenario

    A unit is under fire. They are at risk of being overrun
    The LT calls his gunny op and tells him, "Take some men and secure the right flank. Dont care how ya do it...but secure that flank".
    The gunny doesnt...the unit is overrun

    In the After-Action review...the gunny admits the LT said, "Take some men and secure the right flank" but he interpreted it to be "just banter" and "there was no way" he was going to do it

    How do you rekon that court-martial would go go for the gunny?
