IMO, they need to show him proof that he is wrong before any court marshall. He would ONLY be defying orders if Barry was legit. Does the military have proof of legitimacy and - being 'sworn in' is not proof. Any more than an officer being sworn in that doesn't take an oath. The reason for the existence of our military is to protect us. The military is ignoring their oath and demanding him to ignore his.

It's a Court Martial. Matt Dillion will not be there.

But the rules allow an Affirmative Defense that the order disobeyed was illegal. He must be allowed to present that defense.

He'd better be right in thinking that the order was illegal, or more properly that the ulitimate order giver was not entitled to issue it.

He knows the ramifications of his actions, but he's falling on his sword, so to speak, to advance a higher cause, as HE sees it.

Military courts are not the same as, nor are they run the way as, civilian courts.

Matt Dillion will not be there.

Thanks for your words of wisdom./s We would all be lost w/o them./s

He knows the ramifications of his actions, but he's falling on his sword, so to speak, to advance a higher cause, as HE sees it.

As many others see it, also, but not willing to take the sword. Their career vs. the higher cause - only a man of character could make the right choice. It's not about him but his country. Too far fetched for the spineless to grasp.
