Anarchy in the Army?

Here is a true story. In 1973 as a 17 year old PFC in the Army, I held a strike. Shut down an entire post. How? I was the only person who had a drivers license and my job was to pick up 55,000 troops mail. We were understaffed because of the oil crises during that time period. Months went by with -me- alone- loaded a semi truck 4 times a day, with 70 pound sacks of mail, packages and once a month - pay checks. It was literally killing me. Passing blood like a hose, one night on CQ duty (guarding the post office) I started reading the regulations involving my duties as a postal worker. It stated that when paycheck came in, the transportation of those checks required a second "armed guard." I was transporting them alone.
My schedule was my own. I drove about 75 klicks each way whenever I thought it necessary.
After reading the regs, on payday, I told my CO I could not get the checks unless I had a guard. Said to my Captain, "I'll get the checks when I get a gun and guard. Until then I'll be at the snack bar."
About an hour after I walked off, the motor pool, finance, the post office and other units followed suit even though they had no right too, but I had some weird hold on them, and over 200 crowded into the snack bar.
Soon a squad of MP's entered with loaded weapons and under armed guard I was escorted back to the PO under a charge of mutiny- yes, the firing squad was threatened. I said, "Read the regulation."
Surrounded by trigger happy military cops, I just waited while they read the rules. I was right!
They gave me a 45 and a second man then I went and got the payroll which was held up for 24 hours. One man/ boy disrupted not only the Army, but 55,000 people lives who didn't get their checks.
I was right but they, the Army found their rule book and I found myself in the infantry carrying a 80 pound 90mm 12 k's a day for the remainder of my time. Ouch! But I preformed my duty.
Point to this story: When your right, your right. Gov. Walker is right and has the law backing him. Now, afterward he may suffer a transfer into private life by loosing reelection, but until then, and after he does what he feels needs doing, as Obama has done, all anyone can do is get mad. Like my Captain. When the law/rules are on your side you can do what you want, but know too, ramifications can be awful.
Now, if the regulations didn't back me up- I'd been shot or incarcerated for over 20 years.
The regulations and rules do not back the protesters and they are acting unlawful should be dealt with as any other mob.
There is a fine line between justified and unlawful and right now, Walker is/was me- a PFC who just won't take it anymore.


Hastily written but pretty much all there is to that story.

oh yea, before my transfer, two weeks after the strike- we got 8 replacements.
