One could wonder after this indiscretion (there were more efficient ways to achieve his goals) whether the Navy will trust him enough to make him an officer.
Actually, I would hope that our service academies strive to educate officer candidates who know that constitutional principles are more important than "rules". After all, at the conclusion of WWII our military hanged plenty of guys who followed the rules, but failed to honor more fundamental human rights, like those expressed in our constitution.
I would hope that any US military officer would remember that the constitution comes first. Should someone give them an order to violate somebody's constitutional rights I would hope that they would respectfully decline to participate.
Your #112 is well said. Particularly in light of the fact the oath sworn by U.S. military officers is to defend the Constitution, while making no reference or provision at all to obeying the orders of the President.
(Many will recall Hitler required and received a sworn personal oath of fidelity from each of his military officers. Stalin had no such need, he simply eliminated tens of thousands of suspected miscreants.)
But we are not talking about a military officer in this instance.
We are talking about a homeowner (the school) who has the right to establish and enforce the rules applicable to its guests (students).
A grad who publically and dramatically violates a rule or policy thought by his alma mater to be important, and is punished, should not be surprised if not welcomed at a higher institution.
