Reply #5: Col Sands is a candidate for the George A. Custer Award

[HereSince1628]

Awarded to senior commanders who have shown such a level of intransigience and determination as to never review an opinion or correct a mistake, whose bold application of personal authority far exceeds ordinary common sense, and igonores both law and policy while placing the rights and lives of his command and the greater mission of the Army in jeopardy while seeking to secure an opportunity to go down in history as stubbornly enforcing a stupid decision.

"Be all that you can be. Warrior, Officer, Army of one. US ARMY...228 years of leadership tradition unhampered by progress"
