"I want my mommy" Army Reservists:

The Army is investigating reports that several members of a reservist supply unit in Iraq refused to go on a convoy mission the military said Friday. Relatives of the soldiers said the troops considered the mission too dangerous.

You have got to be kidding me. Granted, you are at risk over there on a daily basis but this is a voluntary army. How embarrassing it is, knowing what are veterans of prior conflicts, our fathers and grandfathers are feeling when they hear news like this. They have sacrificed life and limb going into battle already knowing the risks and the low life expectancy that was briefed to them prior to combat. Whether a reservist or an active duty soldier, you signed your name on the dotted line. You now fall under the jurisdiction of the UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice). You gave up some constitutional rights and civil liberties to protect this country. If proven to be true after the investigation, every single soldier that refused a lawful or direct order should be court-marshaled to the fullest extent. Mission too dangerous? Not enough ammo? Haven't had a hot meal in a while?

Tell that to Marines of 2nd Division who fought the bloody battle of Tarawa in WWII
