Subject: RE: BS: The Nuremberg excuse
..the US military has very strict rules that obligate a soldier to disobey an illegal order, and there is a significant number of individuals, and their commanders, who have been prosecuted under military law for not doing so. So you can be court-martialled for failing to obey orders, or for obeying orders.
