Don't bull**** us - you followed your orders... period, end of story.
"Law" has no place in combat.   Morals?  Possibly.   Conducting
one's self with a code of Honour?  Possibly.    Law?  No way.










            "Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean
            to stand by the president or any other public official, save
            exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the
country.
            It is patriotic to sup****t him insofar as he efficiently
serves the
            country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact
extent
            that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to
stand by
            the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell
the truth,
            whether about the president or anyone else"

             -- Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States
