Weasel

No. Military officers are prohibited from obeying illegal orders. There was some uncertainty about that for a while, but they started to make it clear, as I noted in this tweet I posted June 9, 2020.

@weaselx86 @garbageman @Teri_Kanefield

The pretty obvious flaw here is that the officer has to believe that the order is illegal. And a sizeable portion of our military is made of Trumpers/"conservatives".

And not every member has to agree, just some, and then at the very least we still have a huge damn problem on our hands.

Bingo. The cost of staking a claim that the order was illegal & then having that denied is very high.
