Preliminary assessment: Supreme leader likely hurt in Israeli strike • Netanyahu says objective to end Ayatollah's regime • Trump confirms US operation in Iran, tells IRGC to lay down arms
As the other comment says, these aren’t illegal orders. Wrong? Obviously. I don’t think there’s anything that could possibly make this illegal though. The only potential argument is that only congress can declare war, but that’s been pretty much fucked since the end of WWII. It’s illegal for them to tell you to target civilians. It’s legal for them to tell you to invade some foreign nation, for any reason.
Yes, they do. American soldiers MUST disobey illegal orders.

This is not clearly illegal. Disobeying these orders would get you a court martial, and they will say it was legal.
It depends on the orders.
Like when they invaded vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Venezuela?
Yeah they’ll totally not follow orders…
