Orca,
"where it is legal, they also have a duty to obey."
Sorry if I touched a nerve , didn't mean to . Thought I as making a contribution to a serious discussion.
You make my point perfectly..........who decides what is legal ? Refusal to obey an order on the grounds that it would be in contravention of Classes B and C of the War Crimes definition in the Geneva Convention and therefore illegal is not I suspect likely to go down well in front line, sharp end situations. The assumption appears to be that all orders are legal unless proved not to be so . And that might take some time post facto !!
Not trying to be seditious.......far from it ........just trying to point out that as well as the Queen's Shilling there are other things that go with it ...........like QR's......and that makes you lot different from us lot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
