The Army Oath and the requirement to Obey Legal Orders and Disobey Illegal Orders

Lawful vs. unlawful orders

• Lawful orders: Must be related to military duty and have a valid military purpose. They must be clear, specific, and not conflict with constitutional or statutory rights.

• Unlawful orders: Are those that are clearly illegal, such as orders that require committing war crimes like targeting non-combatants. Service members have a legal and ethical duty to disobey these.

The duty to disobey

• While service members have a duty to obey lawful orders, they also have a duty to disobey unlawful ones.

• If an order is perceived as unlawful, a service member should follow the proper procedures for addressing the order.

• The key principle is that the duty to follow an order only extends to lawful orders.

Ordering the death and destruction of non-combatants is an example of an illegal order. To Date neither Trump nor Hegseth have provided A SINGLE SHRED OF EVIDENCE THAT THE SHIPS DESTROYED WERE LEGAL TARGETS.
