    Quick question, what if refusing an order would get you killed?

      Your job in the military is to risk your life to save the lives of others. Refusing to follow illegal orders is part of that. If you think your superior will kill you and then commit war crimes literally over your dead body, arrest them so they can be tried in military court or die trying. I know, we’re human and this is easier said than done, but it is what should be done.
