Comrade Steeles!
Captain Alvarez's flight logs, as well as the flight logs of elements of Blue Squadron indicate that you, on two separate actions in a single day, questioned the Captain's orders.
Alvarez is an exceptional field commander, he is one of our gunboat aces, Captain of the Havana, and his continued victories in the revolution are a testament to the fact that he knows what he is doing. By arguing with him you undermine his efforts, and the efforts of the Revolution itself.
We cannot allow this.
I have several other field command officers who have similar problems having you defy orders and putting not only yourself, but your squadron mates in dangerous situations as well.
However! Captain Alvarez has faith that you merely have to learn more, and he wants to develop your discipline to match your obvious skill.
I cannot, in the mean time, allow you to set a bad example to other pilots.
Captain Alvarez's decision to demote you in the field to the rank of Lieutenant stands. Be lucky that it wasn't a bullet, if it had been me in the field, you would have been shot.
You will earn your rank back, I am sure, when you prove you are capable of leading pilots to the kind of victories those that have gone before you have done.
Learn from this, Comrade,
See that it is done!!
For Katz, the Premier, Comrades!
For the REVOLUTION!
Khan out!
