The US military trains the soldiers to assess whether their orders are illegal and refuse them if they are. Or at least that’s what they did pre-2025

A moot point in this situation. If you’re ordered to guard a building in the middle of the night, you assume that it’s at worst just something inconsequential and stupid. “Oh now they want me to stand here for some reason? Sure, I guess.”
They weren’t gunning down civilians or anything like that. Shooting people floating in the water after their boat was blown up is a much clearer violation.
