It depends. There are very strict conditions where the military can be used in the US, including maintaining civil order, suppressing rebellion, natural disasters etc. But you are using the phrase illegal order in a very loose way. Illegal order if I remember correctly refers to an order from a superior that violates the USMJ and other government laws or the rules of warfare - ie shooting up civilians as in Haditha.
The military serves the civilian government. Nothing else. It is the civilian government that decides in the end. What you are saying is that the military should be the judge of what they will obey. That is not miltary disciple that is the thinking of a military junta.
