It is debatable that it was a "Whole Platoon" Chewie, it may have been some of the members of the Platoon. I pity the stupid girl who made a phone call discussing mission data over a clear channel. Thats a major rule break no matter what was going on.
As for them refusing to follow Orders, if the Courts Martial (who the hell called it a "tribunal"?) finds that they were not properly equipped and had a justified reason for feeling that it was a "Suicide" mission then their punishments will be reasonably light or non-existant...I will however note..that a different group of people managed to get the supplys through on the alleged "suicide" mission.
Im still waiting for an actual number, serveral reports said it was the "platoon" Other sources said "members of a platoon" and a UPI report direct from Iraq said that "some members of a platoon..." so we have no real good idea of exactly what happned or why...and as I said...the other squad managed to do the job apparently with the same vehicles.
Will be interesting to see the details unfold.
