Well, not really when you think about it.
Lawbreakers don't report directly to the Attorney General. You might make that case if a US Attorney breaks the law, I suppose.
Since you say that the "superiors" should be "disciplined, the question is where the proverbial buck really stops. If the Secretary of Defense runs the Military Services, is that where the ultimate responsibility ends? Or, since the President is the Commander-in-Chief of the Military, does it go all the way up to him? Or someday, her?
