Zero, of course.

I guess you don't know what "disbar" means.

<DEFINITION>

>From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48
[gcide]:

  Disbar \Dis*bar"\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Disbarred}; p. pr. & vb.
     n. {Disbarring}.] (Law)
     To expel from the bar, or the legal profession; to deprive
     (an attorney, barrister, or counselor) of his status and
     privileges as such. --Abbott.
     [1913 Webster]

  disbar
       v : remove from the bar; expel from the practice of law by
           official action; "The corrupt lawyer was disbarred"
</DEFINITION>

So, "War Commanders" aren't disbarred.

And calling someone a sissy every other email is just plain bad
form, and indicates your own blatant bias.
