I disagree that first and foremost is to obey orders. First and foremost is to obey lawful orders. Many Nazis went to the gallows for saying they were just obeying orders. When a soldier finds corruption and illegal crap going on, it should be his duty to expose it as a whistleblower BUT TO WHO? If his commanders are the corrupt ones and it goes all the way to the White House, HOW are you to expose it other than leak the information out on the internet. I think this young man was a true Patriot that tried to expose the WRONG going on in that war. There is nothing worse to me than a group of men over our military that looks the other way when they know the corruption that is taking place and putting lives in danger for a DOLLAR!
