soldiers follow orders, even more than the rest of us. it's their whole thing. there is no evidence i've ever seen that they will refuse to follow an illegal order, and we should have no such expectation.

Replacing laptop barrel jack charging connectors with USB-C is terrible. USB-C ports have 24 fragile pins often with little mechanical support, while barrel jacks have only 2 or 3 usually well anchored connections. And when a barrel jack fails, it's an easy fix while USB-C is often more involved.
