In episode 13, the entire 33rd Marine Division gets killed after specifically requesting Sheryl's performance. Does she ever ask about them? Does that likewise make her worthy of censure?

Well in the subsequent episodes after episode 13, where is Sheryl? She isn't well enough to start going making inquiries she's in the hospital. She's also not in the position to get this kind of information. Not only that but directly afterward they had to deal with the another Vajra attack, as opposed to episodes 1-5. Also it wouldn't take more than 5-minutes to ask about Gilliam as she could have included it in her inquiry about Alto.

She thought Ozma had a desk job, so if she believed that the desk job would make him know "the pretty pilot" then it wouldn't be a stretch to say that the desk job would make him know who recently died at SMS (which would probably be common knowledge to the members of SMS).
