Put a letter in the mail and include a picture of the Lt Col, so they are forced to lookmay the face of the man they just shit canned.
They're still gonna punish, though. NOT punishing him will screw up unit cohesion because there are Officers and Enlisted that are Dems, plus NOT punishing him risks mutiny among the ranks in the future if someone decides they don't like an order from a superior and decides to openly question it. At least, that's the rationale that will be used against him. And he CLEARLY violated the UCMJ, so...the "leadership" is kind of backed into a corner. "Damned if you do, damned if you don't."
