Right - so she was the LARS controller
In that case this particular bimbo wants her arse kicked and her CofC revoked. The traffic was IFR leaving the airway. She should have asked it what service it wanted, applied that plus any limitations she felt were necessary. So there's a danger area in the way and military aircraft. Nothing to stop her vectoring on a RIS (if that was what he requested) for tactical reasons (danger area avoidance) and pass traffic on the conflictions.
It is not up to her to impose a service - you ask what the aircraft wants, and give it if possible.
If I did what she did at my unit my UTO would have a fit and hang me from the tower balcony!
