To sum up:
Staff Sgt. Jeremiah Minor was recently threatened with legal action and with being kicked out of the Army by his new command in Iraq, after he wrote a letter to Stars and Stripes objecting to a requirement for all soldiers in his unit to wear the 1st Infantry Division combat patch (he is entitled to wear the 173rd patch).
Assume all of the information in the article to be true. If you care to do so, address the following questions:
-Would the chain of command be justified in pursuing legal action against this Soldier?
-What would you do if you were the Soldier in this situation?
-What would you do if your were in the Soldier's chain of command?
