I disagree. I do think that it is his job to decide, and that it is everyone's job to decide in similar situations. It's just a matter of weighing the benefits against the consequences, and the contract is about the consequences. It exists because the military can't physically prohibit soldiers from acting against their wishes. There have been times in the past where soldiers have improved the military by whistleblowing.

There was an interesting post here some time back when Lamo dropped in to give perspective on his decision.
