Persons in the military (and I am one) should understand the consequences (for lack of a better word) of their chosen occupation and accept that. When you choose to enlist you swear to uphold are valued ideology and to defend the United States. And call me crazy, but I do believe there is a "to obey the orders of those appointed over me" line. To refuse an order because of an objection to the war is absurd and is also considered treason. However, if these soldiers were disobeying because of not being properly equiped with the necessary weapons and supplies, then yes, this case should be brought to those appointed over them and dealt with accordingly.
