I do find it interesting that Major Reno wasn't court martial afterwards, but considering how many Officers in the Army felt about GAC. There were many who felt he only got to his position by luck and hadn't really earned his way to position he held in the war and lack the experience of the post Civil War Army that held too.

Major Reno was court martialed for "improper advancements on a fellow officer's wife" in 1877.
What the press did to him is very familiar to what happens today if a military officer "gets out of line".
