I’ve said since Day One that Karpisnki should fry. The fact that she used the “I didn’t know” excuse is inexcusable in an officer. Rule number one of officership – take responsibility for your unit’s actions and the actions of your troops, good or bad.
May she be further demoted to E-1.
The best line I’ve heard so far is:

She made a big mistake.
Should have stolen at least $100 worth.”
Mee-OW!
