<<<I do know with certainty that it goes far beyond six enlisted men and women.>>>

I would go so far as to say the enlisted personnel should not be the first to be prosecuted, if at all.

I don't know the chain of command well enough, but there has to be an officer that is in charge of 30 or 40 enlisted people. At a minimum, they are the ones that should be charged.

Those officers have to be guilty. They either had to know what the enlisted people under them were doing, or they were so negligient in their duties they have to be prosecuted.

The same has to be said for the officers in charge of 200 to 300 soldiers. With 200 or 300 soldiers under them, those commanders should know them by name and know a little about them - where they came from - what they are capable of doing - and know what their assignments are and know if they are doing them properly.

At a minimum those two levels of command have to be responsible. Officers have privileges and along with it goes resposnbilities. If anybody is responsible, those two levels are.

If at a minimum we charge those two levels, we will know if it goes any further than that.

You don't have to be a genius to know that those two levels are responsible. Going up the chain after that may get murky.
