If laws are to be meaningful and respected, we cannot claim embarrassing exceptions because an officer stands to lose much through his infraction.

It has been utterly surreal to listen to "conservatives" argue, with a straight face, that officers can pick and choose which orders to obey and which to disobey, without consequence.

We as Conservatives occasionally need to remember that the Military is not an environment for grey-area reasoning. The UCMJ is clear and concise in describing the responsibilities that servicemen swear to uphold.

"He who cannot command himself cannot command others."
