Says someone who has never served. I wouldn't expect you to understand what being a soldier is about. I can only tell you in basic training you take a course called the law of land warfare where you are taught you are not legally allowed to obey an illegal order. If you follow an illegal order you are responsible for it.
And yet again, such obviously illegal orders should be disobeyed, yes. To CALL FOR soldiers to disobey "illegal orders" (without saying what those are) is a specific crime. There's an actual law against it. It's also treasonous. That retired soldier should face a court-marshal too.
the code of military justice says that personnel can only reject "manifestly" illegal orders and specifically tells them not to bring their own judgement to that question.
That's a really high bar.
It remains illegal to council soldiers to disobey orders too. There is a specific law against it. There's no need to "remind" soldiers something they (as you say) are taught very early on. The Dems are doing so to lay the groundwork for insurrection. That's treason.

Every man is responsible for their actions.
