Yup. and what was the literal cost of that action (I'm assuming your talking about the Airbourne tragedy).
Every member of that unit was severly punished (Everything from a dishonourable discharge to prison time), the unit itself which had a long and glorious history was disbanded. Canadian Society as a whole, and the government and the heads of the military were repulsed and enranged by the incident.
Totally different scenario and a bad example IMHO.
