Feb 14, 2017 at 16:56 comment added RichF @MichaelJ. True. Such disobedience would quite possibly lead to getting shot on the spot. But the world, including the USA, has already established, and even mocks, the defense, "I was just following orders." A good soldier must think.
Feb 14, 2017 at 15:44 comment added Michael J. @RichF You'd better be absolutely 100% certain that an order is unlawful before disobeying it. Even in your contrived examples, I can think of circumstances where you would have been wrong to disobey.
Feb 14, 2017 at 5:38 comment added RichF Please do not confuse "support" as in popularity with "support" as in directly supporting unconstitutional acts. When I was in the US Navy, I supported Jimmy Carter. If his administration had asked us to fire into peaceful protestors, or surround congress, or those kinds of things you see in dictatorships, many of us would have refused. The first part of the US military oath is, "I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same". The president comes after that.
