“All orders are presumptively legal...”
So...when I was ordered to falsify official documents, was that presumptively legal?
There is a reason why I and others like me were required to review the laws of armed conflict on a regular basis. There is a reason why I’ve sat in an exercise and listened to a 3-star general discuss the legality of certain options with the staff lawyers.
There is a reason I was told in OTS that I must not obey orders blindly.

You don’t understand the word ‘presumptively’ since you asked that question.
