“[W]e will determine whether Airman Strode’s mistaken belief went only to the degree of his legal culpability or to the issue of whether his conduct was legally “wrong at all.’ United States v. Adams, 33 M.J. 300, 302 (C.M.A.1991). In other words, if we disregard the victim’s age, was his conduct criminal? If the answer is Yes, his mistaken belief was only a mitigating factor and irrelevant to the question of whether he committed a statutory offense.”
