He's correct.

Take them out back and shoot them, pour encourager les autres.

Article 88 applies.

You won't be talking much shit in a brig.

That's correct.  Militarists don't get to pick and choose what orders
they will follow, especially in the heat of battle. 

That's where gutless Democrats would all get killed because they'd want
to debate how they got killed.  

BANG! 

Done.
