[Non-Sequitur]

Not at all. I merely point out that not everyone who refuses to follow orders deserves to be insulted for it. Sometimes it is proper and brave to say "No".

I believe the honorable thing to do is follow the lawful orders of your commanding officer. LCOL Lakin choses not to and will probably wind up on the wrong side of a court martial verdict because of it. His choice.

That’s the whole point: are the orders lawful or not?
