57. That is my point. There is a chain of command.

I am not talking about the military collapsing at all.
I am talking about putting lives at risk.

If LA is killed, then it is public knowledge and the chain of command kicks in automatically.
That is how the military works. That is how a bureaucracy works.

The point is that he kept it all secret so the chain of command did not know anything.
That is what he did that was so very wrong.

I guess I see it differently being a military kid.
The chain of command is critical for a reason.
Lives are at stake. Someone higher up in the chain of command makes a mistake
and it means people can get killed. LA set a terrible example.

I have seen much lower ranking military people face court martial for a lot less.
For example if on leave you fell asleep on the beach and could not return to
duty, you faced charges. It is dereliction of duty. LA knows this.

You don't keep secrets about your whereabouts and play stupid games and
put lives at risk. He was wrong. He refused to use the chain of command.
What he did was wrong and Biden should have fired him
but Biden is a nice guy.

My point about Kate is that she is not a national security risk.
She is not in the LOS at all, she is just the wife of the future sovereign.
Of course people love her and she has symbolic power. But not a direct line heir
like her children.

Yes QEII did modernize some things. But it was no big deal to the British people
because they have a history of strong female rulers. QEI and QEII.
