Probably. I just thought having my guys handling decades old anti-personnel mines was a terrible idea

And , as you’ve already pointed out, this is the challenge of the authorization to refuse illegal orders. Bc they often lie in a very murky mug of immoral? Unlawful? Stupid? And judgment calls have to be made.

Like when I refused my commander’s order to have my guys load old Iraqi landlines into a truck, where does that fall in the grand scheme of unlawful orders?

He wasn’t given the direct order to kill but Hugh Thompson is the name that immediately comes to mind en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Th....

Iirc there are some other examples of Army officers refusing to get involved in Indian killing in Lindsay’s book, Murder State, but I don’t remember it clearly. I’d be interested in any other examples you find! I’m wondering how often there ARE explicit orders in the US context to commit murder.
