Then present a different case, of a captain being punished for a mutiny under his command. This idea that a person, even in the military, is hold responsible by what AWOL soldiers do after they left this command is ridiculous in the face of it from where I stand, so if you can demonstrate it is not the case, by all means do so, but don't simply ask me to take your word for it.

A Captain may not be punished at court-martial for it, but they're going to have a hard time making Admiral or continuing their climb up the greased pole of rank; that honor will go to those captains who somehow don't suffer mutinies .
