Those servicemembers still have a Constitutional right to protect themselves, and in that kind of circumstance, orders be damned. They should not have to die at the disadvantage because their commanders are too chicken$it to make the right decision.
But then, given all that has transpired with our warfighters over the last 7+ years and with the way this moron has decimated the command structures of each of the services, I'm surprised that EVERY 4 or 5 star isn't just another politically inclined "do-boy" serving his master's will.
