Ah, the Defence Counsel Message/Story Line Crafting begins: where people with military experience have very precise ideas around "punishment" (the more legalistic "a penalty or sanction given for any crime or offence" version), the general public reading this will more likely think of "punishment" more broadly (more like "a penalty imposed for wrongdoing"). The defence's message: public exposure + rumour mongering + damage to reputation = "punishment" enough.
Unless he approves of his lawyer's paving the way for a "hasn't he been 'sanctioned' enough for this?" defence and/or sentencing mitigation. If so, I guess that answers the "leadership" question, right?Technoviking said:If BGen Ménard really wanted to show leadership, and if he really did the things of which he is accused, then perhaps he should advise his lawyer to STFU.
