1st ID Soldierr refuses to deploy

Oh Hell No!

"Webster told his commanders he would not deploy based on guidance he received from Muslim clerics, one of whom, Air Force Capt. Hamza Al-Mubarak, testified for the defense that Webster had done the right thing, Stars and Stripes said."

Captain should be in the cell next to him IMO.

Still want to quit?

So you draw an Army paycheck as an officer and a Chaplain, and encourage soldiers to refuse to obey orders?

I don't think so!

That's just wrong. This is a volunteer military, you know the deal going in. Chaplin ought to be courts martialed for insitig this behaviour.

Both should be court-martialed, and we should bring back hanging.

Is burning at the stake outlawed?

It shouldn't be.

An officer advising a soldier to not go to war and do his job?

Get a match.

Both should share adjacent cells and given cases of C-rats for the duration of their tour with every meal replaced by Ham and Lima beans.
