A couple of side questions for the peanut gallery:
1) If the CMA (Court of Military Apeals) or SCOTUS did find that the order was unlawful, does that then implicate every soldier who did comply, in a crime? Are they guilty then of war crimes, for failing to disobey?
2) By refusing to deploy, the Lieutenant, by definition, forced some other Lieutenant to go, who would not have otherwise needed to deploy. If that guy gets killed or hurt, is 1LT Watada culpable?
