The military is not a union organization. They took an oath before they put on that uniform to take orders that is their function. Those who do not take orders live in the guard house or stockade until trial and a dishonerable discharge. |

They would all be considered AWOL and thrown in jail if they tried that. |

no, only union organizations go on strike. the us military is non-union, therefore they don't go on strike. |

Military is not allowed to strike. No government employee, union or not, is allowed to strike. The difference is, the gov. employee would just get fired. The military member(s) would be charged and face court martial.
Refer to the strike of air traffic controllers 25 years ago. They are gov. employees and were given 3 days to report back to work. The many who contiuned to strike were fired by Pres. Reagan. |

That would be called a mutiny...
Mutiny is the act of conspiring to disobey an order that a group of similarly-situated individuals (typically members of the military; or the crew of any ship, even if they are civilians) is legally obliged to obey. The term is commonly used for a rebellion among members of the military against their superior officer(s), turning the strongest arm of the law into a danger for the legal order.
Most countries still punish mutiny with particularly harsh penalties, sometimes even the death penalty |

check the Uniformed Code of Military Justice or UCMJ. In Article 94. It states that a strike is considered mutiny and a person who is found guilty of attempted mutiny, mutiny, sedition, or failure to suppress or report a mutiny or sedition shall be punished by death or such other punishment as a court-martial may direct. |

Not in the U.S. Military it is call mutiny and look up the regs on that it and you will find it hold the harshest punishments.
I do know the Danish military is union and they can go on strike. |

Yes, it is called Mutiny. They would be shot or hung or jailed for life breaking big rocks into little rocks. |

Not in the U.S. military - that's considered mutiny and is punishable by death. However, there are other effective means of resisting the war... |

Only in The Netherlands, I believe. |

Certainly.......then they immediately go to jail........... |

I don't know what would happen if the whole military went on strike... frome the generals all the way down to the just enlisted... You can't really put that many people to death... or in jail either! So if the whole military went on strike that would be an intersting thing to see! if a few men went on strike that's mutiny and the military would I'm sure make an example out of them to deter others from doing the same! |

A better question would be is it legal for military personnel to organize and form a union? I bet this question would have to go before the supreme court for a decision. And you know how they would respond being that george has stacked the deck now! |

That would be failure to miss movement, being AWOL, disboeying a direct order, just for starters. In the Navy that would amount to mutiny. That would amount to one big fat courtsmartial. One would be in Ft. Leavenworth for a very long time. |

In your dreams liberal. |

No. If they disobey an order they're punished. Those who strike would be guilty of anything from insubordination to being outright AWOL. |

Anything is possible but probable no they won't reason is because we are a free country and when they signed that contract it said they would protect it and the people from the US. |
