I bet it does. And there is more to it than being ordered to his commanders office.

No there isn't. Obama could be unmasked as a fraud and removed from office tomorrow and Lakin would still be guilty of disobeying orders, missing movement, and conduct unbecoming.

Personally, what LT Calley did was deplorable. However, what is the difference if the US Govt made the decision on a much larger scale? If we got rid of the stupid rules of engagement, sure there would be lot’s of civilians killed, but we would have solved this issue years ago, thereby saving many more lives on both sides.

I'm not sure quite how to answer that.

Of course not. It’s called common sense.

No, I don't think so. One could argue that LT. Larkin gave an oath to the Constitution. Unless people like you get jobs as military justices, he should be found Innocent of all charges.
