[Vision2020] Captain of 'Mutinous' Supply Company Relieved ofCommand

[Dick Schmidt]

Let's see now....the prison guards followed orders and face a court martial
and the support group didn't follow questionable orders and could be facing
a court martial. Must be a very terrible place to work with Rumsfeld and
Bush in charge. I support these 18 more than I do the prison guards.
