Well I agree it was a bit light for something that he did was very stupid - and he got off easy. I mean theres many who can object to killing and still serve their country fine.
But Jimmy4 - thats not entirely true. Its true that when you're in the military they don't necessarily want you to think. But at the same time, they promot the soldier to think. Thats what always set the U.S. soldier apart from other nations
Instead of sitting there waiting for speicfics, they can improvise and make it happen. They dont need to ask their superiors what to do.
They're obviosly not gonna follow an order to "go kill yourself" - obviously its following rational orders. But i think saying that you're supposed to follow any order is a bit off. And I hate to say it, but i hate it when people label soldiers as being robots. Its true theres tons of idiots but thats what separates the great ones from the bad ones.
