Boredom (FTLR)

The soldiers, cooped up in the garrison for weeks, are getting into trouble and suffering from scurvy. Sixteen men make a stealthy run for fresh buffalo meat but bring back trouble instead.

This one has the potential to be great, but I feel like it goes a little south at some point. (Spoiler) The idea of a soldier desecrating an Indian grave and starting a war ... seems good right? There is some pretty good dialogue in this one, but I think some of it could have been sacrificed for more weighty matters and the final scene between Captain Quince and the chief seems a little contrived.
