I agree, he should go to jail. But I'm curious about how military justice works. "Klimkewicz was charged with 'disobeying a lawful order' to carry a weapon." What happens if you are lawfully ordered to, say do 50 pushups, and you're exhausted and can only do 40? I always imagine you'd get yelled at, get made fun of, maybe even get your ass kicked. But is that also a felony for which you can be sent to prison for?

Well if someone was ordered to do 50 pushups and could only do 40... then what? he gave up? or he had a heart attack? In any case the man got down on the ground and tried doing the pushups... In this case the man just refused to get down on the ground....
