Ehren Watada's Case outcome?

Question

If Lt. Ehren Watada is found guilty, what policies will it impact? and how would him being found guilty affect our ability to fight for social justice?

Answer 1

If Lieutenant Watada is found guilty he should be severed from the service with a dishonorable discharge. Any officer asserting that he will only follow the orders he believes in is in no position to question any of his subordinates doing so. Engaging in this sort of conduct is disgracing his uniform and voiding the special trust and confidence the President reposed in him when he was granted his commission.
It will impact no policies within the armed forces. Congress writes the rules for the land and naval forces under its authority contained in Article One, Section Eight of the
Constitution. Any Member of Congress attempting to amend those rules to permit commissioned officers the option of ignoring orders issued by lawful military authority would be laughed out of the chamber. The armed forces is a "foreign country". It had its own privates gods and taboos, its own strange manners of dress and speech and its own totems. When the crowd gathering around the Kumbaya table looking for "social justice" begins to realize that difference, then there will be an epiphany.

Answer 2

Watada's case is a nightmarish quagmire for the US military and government. It is so sad that our bungling president doesn't see the separation. I don't know what the answer is to your question, but I am really scared for Americans (both civilians as well as soldiers) if he is found guilty.
The regime we are currently living under has bent lots of concrete constitutional laws in order to get the results they desire. It will be a long hard fight to rectify that. Years and years of damage have been done to our rights as American citizens.

Answer 3

Any military person who is willing to accept the rank and pay just to suit his lifestyle up until the point he is due to be deployed then has the nerve to say its all unfair and he wont serve deserves only one reward, made to wear a uniform less any rank, awards etc but with a broad yellow stripe painted on his back so people recognize him for the coward he is.

Answer 4

I hope he is found guilty he knew when he joined he could be deployed and refusing to lead the very troops he swore to command is treason.

Social justice? Doesn't apply in the military.
