He didn’t strike. He wasn’t given the opportunity. And...He **plainly** stated that he was very willing to obey and would obey any lawful order. He asked for clarification of his orders to assure that they were lawful. It is his duty before God to only obey **lawful** orders and to also question and clarify any that he believes may possibly be unlawful. On what possible issue could he face court martial?

I agree with you. My point is, if the DOD can't find a reason to court martial Cook, a stunning precedent has been set for the rest of the military.
