I'd say you and the Top go over and talk to Jody's CO and TOP - let them know that SF NCO's and Officers work together, and encourage them to do the same. Plus, it keeps the story 100% straight on both sides of the house.

I concur..Get on with with will ya!!!!
One good thing about getting the ass chewing out of the way is that it’s not hanging over your head during block leave. A week later you’re back at work. By now the company has deployed so many times that recovery operations are just another battle drill. The company functions largely on autopilot, with the company-level leadership putting out general guidance and the junior leadership making things happen. Priority of work is accountability and recovery of company equipment, catching up on administrative items such as evaluation reports and awards, and physical training. And, of course, getting Jody.
The day after block leave ends, the Group holds a belated memorial ceremony for Bradley and the four SF Soldiers killed in Najaf. The ceremony takes place at the aptly-named Memorial Chapel, just down the street from the Group headquarters. Your “important-but-not-quite-the-guests-of-honor” status lands you and your first sergeant in the second row, behind the command group, the families, and the guests of honor. The military members present are resplendent in their dress green uniforms. First Sergeant makes the observation that the Group Sergeant Major’s ribbon rack is so large that it should say “see continuation sheet.”
On a little platform at the front of the chapel are three M4s, bayonets fixed, pointed muzzle-down behind three pairs of desert boots. Dog tags are draped from the pistol grips and over the carrying handles. Green berets rest on the butts of two of the weapons, and a maroon beret- Bradley’s beret- rests on the third. Just after the Group Chaplain begins to give the invocation for the ceremony, a young Soldier serving as an usher escorts a young woman up to the front row. It takes a minute for the recognition to kick in- it’s Mrs. Bradley.
The Group CSM conducts the “Last Roll Call,” a deeply moving ceremony in which the names of the fallen are called out, but of course they cannot respond. Although you know they’re coming, the first volley of the party firing the salute outside still startles you. It startles some of the family members of the fallen so much that they begin to cry. The haunting strains Taps resonate through the chapel, accompanied by muted sobs. As the ceremony concludes, Mrs. Bradley is ushered out of the chapel. When you finally make your way out, you see her standing pretty much by herself beside the street.
Should you try to confront Mrs. Bradley?

I would make eye contact, giving her a look that lets her know she's at fault, and walk off.
my better judgement says now is not the time.

Agreed

That's pretty much what I wanted to say.
I'm thinking that while she had an affair and even rubbed her husband's nose in it, she never intended on him being killed.
She probably feels more guilty than you can imagine.
Getting dirty looks at the funeral is really horrible. :2c:

Probably why it should be done then.
But then, I'm a dick.
