To: No Longer Free State
he had volunteered for two separate deployments in which he would help clear land mines in Iraq, a task that would not require him to carry a weapon or kill anyone. This guy needs to go to jail. ALL Marines are rifleman.

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?
