I'm not one to agree with the 'zero-defect' mentality, meaning I think one can recover. My problem with this particular promotion is the cherry picking of cases/people to take care of when plenty of great dudes (in both services) have been FNAEB'd or FFPB'd (add the USAF equiv here) and the message it sends.
I guess however, if we can name a United States war ship after Gabby Giffords, anything is possible with today's leadership!
