True he does have his 6th and 7th rights (slightly ammened for military law and justice). However I feel that it would be nice for him to uphold his oath as an officer (and hopefully gentleman) and accept his fault, and take his punishment. This is a sentiment that the Air Force tries to embody... just look at the oaths, and codes of conduct of the the Air Force Academy.

My sentiments aren't anit-american, as in not against the people of the US, but rather in fact against the current administration and against people who fight to protect an ideal, but refuse to hold themselves to it.........
