But if that did happen, and a whole mess of soldiers jumped on this bandwagon, I suppose a logical thing to do would be to hire more mercenaries. I.e., Blackwater (don't they have a new name now?), etc.
They'll get this war fought, no matter what it costs. And the same for Iran.

Couldn't possibly have said it any better. This LTC has just sunk his career. If he's lucky, he'll be allowed to retire...if he's not, court-martial and nothing. Personally? Nothing would be my preference.
You don't like your commander and chief? Fine. Resign your commission and get out, then get on your high horse... Don't undermine the civilian authority by using this reason that to my knowledge has been tossed in every court room it's entered.

Whoa? This LTC is disobeying a legal order for deployment. He's not disobeying an illegal order to behave in an unlawful manner. You don't get to pick and choose which ones you'll obey, unless you've got all your ducks in a row. He doesn't. Court martial awaits him, or forced retirement, at least it should be awaiting him.
