minus-squareAstaKask@lemmy.cafelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down3·2 days agoNo. Soldiers are very much protected from such orders in most countries. They can’t be held responsible for refusing to follow an illegal order. I mostly hear the argument from civilians helping their employer commit crime.
