Check out the UCMJ ( Uniform Code of
Military Justice ).
Then follow that up with Geneva Convention
and Hague Convention, and that will give you a good idea of what illegal is to
the military.

Robert,
This IMHO, this is another simplification.
Aside from refusing to obey an illegal order, can you think of any
exceptions?
What's illegal?

Is it really? Can an army function without
discipline? When the lieutenant says: "We have orders to secure that
hilltop and neutralize enemy resistance," does an enlisted soldier have
the right to disagree?
My wife has a young cousin who joined the
Marines a few years ago. Much to his dismay, and his family's distress,
the Marine Corps sent him to Fallujah. He tells us that he didn't want
to go there. He speaks of the situation being horrible and of his life
being in constant danger. But he couldn't say: "No thanks. I'd rather
serve in Guam." > > Do you mean to say that you (as
