    Are you comparing the waitress not proofreading the math on a preprinted receipt (arguably not their job) to soldiers actively committing war crimes?

      No. 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.
