The responsibility goes to their platoon lieutenant, company captain and battalion colonel. After so many years in Afghanistan, if the officers aren't pounding into the soldiers the vital importance of proper conduct (as most surely are or we would see this much more) then they have failed in their commands and not achieved their mission, which is as much hearts and minds as it is search and destroy. I just get annoyed listening to all the big shots around here who avoid simple declarative sentences whenever possible. This one is easy. "Somebody fucked up, and our job now is to make sure that 1) they pay for it and 2) neither they nor others fuck up like that again." Simple.
