It was the right thing to do, she obviously did something wrong ... however, I think her supervisors/commanders should be punished a lot more than her. If she was in fact *following orders* (and from what I know about Military you never question your superiors...) they need to be punished even more severly

I definitely think she did the right thing, there were pictures to prove it. I definitely would think that the superiors would be punished more harshly. I think there should be some type of leniency for England, if it was in fact the superiors who forced them to do it.

And to be honest, she seems to be a bit disabled. I heard somewhere in the media that she always struggled in school due to numerous learning disabilities. Someone who has had those type of problems (and possibly the esteem issues that go along with them) would probably be more likely to not question a superior.

exactly, they are the ones who are more likely to go along with it because they are easily influenced.

My sister is in the Army and she says that she needed to have documentation stating that she was ordered to do what she did. Otherwise, it won't stand in court. I don't think that's exactly fair.
