I worked for a WO[1] who knew where all the bodies were buried; he
never would have done anything as stupid as what you described. For
that matter, my company commander would have gotten rid of a top kick
like yours.
My chain of command was Military civilians (like in GS ) they are
the ones that taught me to stick up for myself .
I guess they could get away with it with the military. They were the
rulers and the military was there for the ride.
"we" were a HQ company and we got away with a lot of things the rest
of the members wouldn't dare. It was second nature to speak (with
respect) back to people that had a higher rank. As I told one second
Lt I have a job waiting for me when I get out that pays 5 times what
I get out of here and I don't have to salute people straight to his
face and walked away. (it helped that I sort of knew him).
I had a Captain who tried to bring me up on charges 2 times and I had
a solid excuse for each time. I even reported him the JAG for a
poster he tore down and made him pay for it. I was sort of surprised
that he ended up paying for it as I was hoping he would get court
marshaled. I have several other items that I don't think this is the
place to discuss them.

[1] Not somebody that I would care to cross, but I loved working
for him; as long as the work got done, he bent over backwards
to keep his people happy.
