My gov't  teacher my senior year of high school told the story of how when 
he was there  as a young man he took umbrage once at how a sergeant was 
treating a young  black soldier, mouthed off to said sergeant, and was instantly 
assigned to  planting sod around the various officers' buildings.  "That 
sod is there  to this day," he  said.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
 
 
My next older brother, Jim, was stationed at Ft. Lewis, WA, and one
night in the officers' club saw a drunken officer punch a woman in  the
face and knock her to the floor.  He moved to help the woman and
said something to the offending officer like , "Are you crazy?"
 
It turned out that the puncher officer was in charge of deployment  for
the Army Pacific area.  My brother was forthwith banished to the
forlorn Island of Shemja in the Alleutian Chain for the next 18  months.
 
Sometimes good deeds get punished.
