Yeah, I think this was a case of Steve coming down too heavily on the side of being Carol's commander rather than Carol's friend. You can stage an intervention for a depressed alcoholic, or you can stage a disciplinary hearing for an Avenger who fucked up in the field, but you can't do both at the same time. Not that I think an intervention was likely to work with Carol at that point, but a court martial was absolutely guaranteed not to work. And, sure enough, it didn't.

The fact that many of the people involved were the same people who'd stood around cheerfully waving while Carol was carried off by her rapist doesn't exactly help. The whole thing is a huge mess, really.
