Soldiers don't determine what a legal or illegal order is for the most part. Just as law enforcement isn't going to argue the finer points of law while arresting someone they think is a criminal. Stop trying to pretend that every single person that works in law enforcement and the U.S. Armed Forces has to be a Constitutional lawyers. This isn't how life works. We don't go to our job with a lawyer attached at the hip weighing the legality and morality of every decision. okay, well, people who don't spend the day praying don't do that. People who pray unceasingly do that but spiritually.
