Yeah...you don't know what you're talking about. If you'd actually read the article you'd realize the senator isn't arbitrarily screaming "death penalty". What he's saying is this guy is guilty of treason in a time of war and the punishment for treason in the military is death. Which is a much harsher punishment than a civilian contractor could get for leaking the same information.
Second your theory that soldiers can "default to the constitution" if they disagree with the President is just foolish. First because there are defined punishments for defying the commander and chief and second because that would lead to chaos. What happens when a conservative regiment decides President Obama is violating the constitution with something he's ordered? Should they be able to take their guns and oppose him? Of course not!
Finally "killing on orders" is just another word for War so soldiers do it all the time
