I hope the SAS commander reply was along the lines of "Sod off swampy".

I would hope that all 82nd alumni would send it's commander a note that they are embarrassed by him.

Be appropriate if that Brit commander had just replied "Nuts."

Yeah, I know that was the 101st but might make a point with the 82nd.

BZ, I salute you sir -- and the sacrifice this likely means for you.

There's one brass hat who actually has some brass in his sack.

He knows it's going to cost him. Maybe a resignation beforehand would have been the thing to do. I dunno. I'm just an old enlisted guy. But as an enlisted this is the sort of stuff I want to know brass hats will speak up and question and ask for an accounting.
