Bingo.

Love to see more people challenge their orders.

People or soldiers? And if soldiers, why?

That would not be a good thing. We're at war right now. Last thing we need is for large portions of the military to decide they can have a sit down strike.

One key point for me in this article is where the Stars and Stripes point out that Cook volunteered for the mission first and then refused to go. A bit difficult to paint him as the innocent soldier just trying to do his job with a clear conscience when called up for duty when he picked the fight. If he truly feels the order is illegal, fine let him fight it. But the flip side of that is- if the order turns out to be legal they should lock his butt up for a good long time. He went looking for it and he should be prepared to accept the consequences that come with it.
