Yes, I completely agree here, and this just made the fob off explanation (questioning Jeb's sanity) that much easier to swallow - it was a believable explanation. And even if things had played out as described, Jeb was being sold to us readers as a loyal soldier - whistle-blower really didn't fit very well.
