The fact that he is one of many shows, either he is the only to have the courage to stand up to an "immoral" war, or he is in the company of brave men but he is one of a very few that feel the way he does. Since, as you say, he is in an elite outfit, I am assuming the second theory is closer to correct. Furthermore, when he signed up for the military he had to know that he would not always agree with the policies of the government and that he possibly would have to follow orders in a war that he did not personally agree with. I don't think he will have much chance in court. For him to win he will have to prove that following the order to fight is "immoral". I think that is going to be a tall order.
