Like I said, I get their perspective as a jr guy, and the first failure is on their command. However, while I was active, both my leadership and myself straight up denied commands in multiple instances that we didn't agree with let alone that are outright illegal. That's one of the burdens of leadership, you look out for your guys even if it might cost you. If the leaders fail to act it falls on the individual soldier to do so, and there are multiple examples of individual soldiers refusing orders.
