Back to LT. Larkin. You are wrong. Let me make it simple, it a boyscout gives an oath to do his best and the Scoutmaster says go cut that tree down, would he be guilty for refusing to cut it down?

Let me put it this way, if an officer in the armed forces is given a lawful order by his commanding officer and he chooses to ignore it then he suffers the consequences.
