Subject: RE: BS: US Soldiers: Common Sense vs 'Mutiny'
The thing that may get these people into serious trouble is the fact that they discussed it and were in unanimous agreement. My understanding of the UCMJ is that this is the nature and core of mutiny, the essence. They were right. But the Uniform Code of Military Justice doesn't take 'right' into account. Their best hope is political action. It was, on the surface, a stupid order.
