The answer is “yes”. What people are failing to understand is, in the military you don’t have time for debate. You do what you are told. Even if it means certain death. The mission is paramount. Anything that detracts from the mission becomes an obstacle. Obstacles are removed. In this case it was a insubordinate soldier who appears to have problems showing up on duty days and using religion as an excuse for bad behavior.
The court rightfully saw through her ruse.
