Inasmuch as this fellow's plight has moved Congress to initiate legislation beneficial to him, I would suggest his CO probably ought to start looking for another job, and the guys on the court martial board might kiss their careers goodbye as well.

Remember, for our officer corps the objective of the promiton system is to surface men of sufficient temperament to be admirals and generals while, at the same time, finding people who can command the respect of their subordinates without resort to judicial methods.

You really aren't doing your career any good if you get caught up in a notorious case.

I would wait until such legislation actually passes before worrying about it.

You're suggesting that officers should worry about the politics of the matter rather than doing their duty?

LOL! Actually flagrantly disobeying orders is far more detrimental to your career.
