Correct me if i'm wrong but i don't think there is no democracy in the US Military. Sort of like Napoleon with a Military Dictatorship you obey what you are ordered to do. Makes a person wonder though because if i soldier knows that he will be going to certain death on a mission or whatever should he still obey it or does he have the right not too? Or does country, honor and duty come first?
I think that the punishment for not obeying direct orders is being court marshalled.

No soldiers should never disobey an order, and there usually is dire consequences for those that do. Which these would know and proves their desperation even more and what a shoddy opperation the US military; or their leadership from where-ever (i.e. political), is doing. Contaminated fuel is bad enough, meaning resources aren't working or supply lines. Same for armour but add in funds falling short. No escort means they're spread thin, and the soldiers revolt means they have command problems and isn't a good sign at all. But remember "who do you trust to fight the terrorists and defend America"?
Not bloody Bush. Trust him? What's he done for you lately.
