AI Overview

Yes, military members have a duty to refuse unlawful orders and can get in trouble for failing to do so. Refusing an illegal order is not a punishable offense; in fact, following one can lead to criminal liability for the service member.
 
The OP does not the UCMJ.

The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) addresses unlawful orders under Article 92 (Failure to Obey Order or Regulation). It makes clear that service members must obey lawful orders, but they have a duty to refuse manifestly illegal ones.

Here is the relevant language:

“An order requiring the performance of a military duty or act may be inferred to be lawful, and it is disobeyed at the peril of the subordinate. This inference does not apply to a patently illegal order, such as one that directs the commission of a crime.”

🔎 Detailed Breakdown​

  • Article 92, UCMJ:
    • Requires obedience to lawful orders.
    • Explicitly distinguishes between lawful and unlawful orders.
    • States that an order is presumed lawful unless it is patently illegal (e.g., ordering the killing of civilians, falsifying documents, committing crimes).
  • Duty to Refuse:
    • Service members not only may refuse manifestly illegal orders, they must.
    • Obeying an unlawful order can expose a service member to criminal liability.
    • Courts have consistently rejected the “just following orders” defense (famously at Nuremberg).
  • Legal Guidance:
    • If an order seems questionable but not obviously illegal, service members are advised to seek guidance from a Judge Advocate (military lawyer).
    • Orders later deemed unlawful in court may not always be “manifestly illegal” at the time, so refusal carries risk unless the illegality is clear.

⚖️ Contextual Example​

  • Orders to target civilians or commit war crimes are manifestly illegal and must be refused.
  • Operational or deployment orders, even if later challenged, are generally not considered “obviously illegal” at the moment of issuance.

📜 UCMJ Articles on Orders & Obedience​

ArticleTitleCore RuleKey Point on Unlawful Orders
Article 90Assaulting or Willfully Disobeying Superior Commissioned OfficerRequires obedience to superior commissioned officers.Only applies to lawful commands. A patently illegal order is not protected.
Article 91Insubordinate Conduct Toward Warrant Officer, NCO, or Petty OfficerRequires respect and obedience to NCOs and warrant officers.Again, only lawful orders must be obeyed.
Article 92Failure to Obey Order or RegulationRequires obedience to lawful orders and regulations.Explicitly states: “This inference does not apply to a patently illegal order, such as one that directs the commission of a crime.”
Article 94Mutiny and SeditionCriminalizes mutiny, sedition, and disobedience aimed at overthrowing lawful authority.Protects lawful command structure; does not shield illegal orders.

🔎 Key Quotation (from Article 92, Manual for Courts-Martial)​

“An order requiring the performance of a military duty or act may be inferred to be lawful, and it is disobeyed at the peril of the subordinate. This inference does not apply to a patently illegal order, such as one that directs the commission of a crime.”

This is the direct authority that requires service members to refuse unlawful orders.

⚖️ Practical Implication​

  • Lawful orders → must be obeyed.
  • Unlawful orders → must be refused.
  • Patently illegal orders (e.g., war crimes, falsifying records, harming civilians) → refusal is mandatory, and obedience can result in criminal liability.

HAHAHA. You're so dumb you don't even understand the issue. Anyone can say an order is illegal.
 
Trump took to social media Thursday and reprimanded the group, Sens. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), along with Reps. Jason Crow (D-CO), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH), Chris Deluzio (D-PA) and Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA), over a Tuesday PSA that urged U.S. troops to be wary of following any “illegal orders” that may come out of the White House. The Democrats, who are all veterans themselves, released the video and drew immediate ire from the president.

“We are veterans and national security professionals who love this country and swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,” the group of congressional Democrats said in a joint statement on Thursday after Trump said their video was “punishable by death.” “That oath lasts a lifetime, and we intend to keep it. No threat, intimidation, or call for violence will deter us from that sacred obligation.”
