With regard to the example of the instructor on the basic training, I think that a big thing is not just acting in the short term to make the situation more comfortable for everyone. In that situation, he was removed from the course as an instructor. However, that was it; that would never have been on his record. It would not have impeded his ability, as an instructor, to be an instructor at other basic courses. It was just the immediate fix.
With regard to that specific example, I think that when an issue like that comes to light, it needs to be marked in a way that has an impact on their total career and on their character as a soldier, not just with a circumstantial solution.
