Here's the background. You're a senior E5. Your troops are in formation and you're handing out work for the day. You hand out an assignment to a fresh E2 with less than a year in and only a few months at your command. They blatantly complain and tell you to choose someone else. You calmly tell them they will do this task and they tell you to shove it and give it to someone else. How do you react?

Continue to hand out work assignments. Release the rest and have him stand fast. If you deal with him right then he gets the reaction he wants from you and the rest of the platoon.
Tell him the he is very funny but you will inform the rest of the platoon that due to his actions they will due extra duty each day untill his attitude has changed. When he ask why just smile and tell him to get to work. Let the platoon fix his attitude!!!

I'd smoke him right there then verbally abuse him and if he doesn't get the point send him to see the platoon sergeant which in my days would have a visit to the First Sergeant and NOBODY wanted that!

I'd probably drop him so fast, that he wouldn't have enough time to think about his next move. Gauretee he'd think twice before opening his pie hole the next time
