A PFC humping a -60 over hill and dale has the same moral obligation. You will not convince me otherwise of this point.
But to the meat of our disagreement...
You state you don't know if this is a legal order or not. Nor do I. Nor do a lot of people. Thus I am not going to pass judgement on the good General short of a definitive answer.
If in the face of a clearly illegal order obvious to even to those of us who don't practice law for a living, then yes, I would agree any service member subject to the UCMJ should balk.
Edited to address General Ham, I hope he writes a New York Times best seller, tell all that sends she Clinton into retirement.
