I hope this is a joke. I never heard of anyone refusing orders till their commander proves anything to them.

Agreed....It’s almost as rare as having a President that does not meet the Constitutional requirements of the office!

Woops on you.

I spent 5 years as an active duty combat arms commissioned officer, and then another 4 years as an active duty JAG prosecutor (and another 4 years in school at West Point).

The “approved solution” when an unlawful order is issued is to respectfully:

explain to your chain of command that you believe the order is unlawful,

explain to your chain of command why you believe so, and

explain to your chain of command that you refuse to follow it on the grounds that you believe it is an unlawful order.
