How would you react to an E2 who "smart mouths" you in formation?

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?

Discipline all troops but the dipshit. Let them take care of that problem real fast and turn him around completely. People do slip in showers.

Turn to the rest of the formation. Inform them that they win as a team or they loose as a team. All privileges are denied until such time as they become a properly functioning unit. Two weeks max to iron the problems out as a unit. After that point squad leaders reappointed and and discipline handed out. If you can't make here as a properly functioning unit you will likely fail and die on your first mission. Fallout!

Just do it. There's a whole lot of suck in the military. But being the guy/girl who embraces the suck, gets a lot of respect from the majority. That person would do anything for the team. And does it because if they don't, someone else will.

Side note... If I were an E5 telling an E2 to do something. Their going to do it... Or they can have another duty, that probably involves actual dootie.
