As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
Major Marcos Reno was risen to the command of the 7th Cavalry after the mass murder of the General Custer command.
Reno who was drunk on the day of the Custer assassination, calling out rude things about General Custer, was later in the employ of stalking a woman at the fort in sexually terrorizing her.
The end result he was thrown out of service.
The lesson in this is as follows:
"Nobody detests an official bully more than I do. I have met a few of that character in the army, but they did not remain there very long. Bullies are chiefly drinking officers, and sometimes they carry their offensiveness to extremes. Their brother officers, so far from shielding them, take the very earliest opportunity of having them court-martialed. In most cases they are dismissed from the service, and then they devote most of their lives to an effort to get back. Occasionally, in cases where reformation is thorough and sincere, they are restored, but this happens very rarely. An unjust officer is looked upon with contempt by those above him, as well as by those under his command."
Finerty, John F. (John Frederick), 1846-1908.
Both Frederick Benteen and Marcos Reno were weeded out of the United States Army. Yes the brother officers retaliated on these fiends and eventually got them.
