Is it undermining NCOs if a soldier straight-up disrespects NCOs just before ETS, but the unit won't push for chapter or UMCJ?

Regardless if they have 1 day left that is no excuse for them to get a hall pass... UCMJ! We are taking the backbone out of the NCO corp if we let violations like this slide.. other soldiers see it and think they can do same..

The Navy went through this in the early 70's when Admiral Zumwald (CNO) started making changed to rules and discipline went out the door. A lot of us got out. I had 10 years in service, but I lknopw of others with 12 and more years that felt the same way. No discipline, no control in service. Now they have named a "destroyer" after him. Sometimes I wonder about the madness in thoise that would permit this by someone who almost destroyed the navy. A service without discipline is not a service at all. It destroys moral, and I remember that there was a mutiny aboard USS Newport News. A gunwas blown up in Turret # 2 causing the death of a couple of seaman. Discoplen is a great moral inducement or a moral distraction.
