He should be disciplined and be dishonorably discharged.IMO it would be unthinkable to leave him in an organization where lives depend on him following orders when it is clear he is looking for a situation where he'll feel justified in disobeying orders.It would be beyond irresponsible to leave him in and wait and see what happens.



lives depend more on disobeying orders than on following orders.
lives depend on teamwork and trust in your fellows, not the orders to run into that machine gun.


stop talking and youll sound less retarded



So let me get this strait...You believe insubordination should be encouraged in our military in case someone gives a bad order ?? Each soldier should run around acting in his own best interest yea that would work.

The real story is how what you say in your personal life on your own social media is now being looked at and affects your job and other things. Good bye free speech. Hello police state

There is a ton of precedent to support the possibility of charges.

You can't undermine the chain of command in public. PERIOD.

The Supreme Court has consistently upheld this over the years.

It's not new. And it's taught to the military.

If he feels that strongly about the leadership, he is welcome to quit and carry on his fight as a civilian.

PS - If you'd like an interesting read on the law involved:
