Pretty sure refusing illegal orders is literally already in the code of ucmj

They have no legal basis to try and court martial him. Not following unlawful/illegal orders is taught in basic for every branch. Our oath is to the Constitution of the United States, not whichever person is sitting in the White House. This also includes orders that violate Geneva Convention.

So telling someone to disobey an illegal order is treason or even illegal? Maybe I'll be arrested for telling someone to stop at a red light.

I’d recommend people watch the Legal Eagle video they did earlier this year on whether or not Soldiers can defy orders. They do a good job of explaining just how complicated it is for them to actually disobey. The whole system is built on complete obedience.

Everyone that we know is dirty doesn't seem to get punished, I'm wandering why? I've seen a lot of BS and nobody can do anything about it

Nuremberg trials made sure "just following orders" wasn't a sufficient excuse.

The military's loyalty is to the Constitution, not to Trump.
