ttbn,

I've just been browsing this thread and I came across your,
"As far as I am aware, refusing to obey orders still attracts a Court Martial. There's no conscious 'vote' in the military"

Just for general info, in the Australian armed services, as in most others, soldiers are required to apply legal principles to any order that they consider to be an illegal order and to not carry it out.
Obeying orders is not a defence for an illegal act.

"Obeying orders is not a defence for an illegal act." As many Nazi's at Nuremberg found out to their detriment.
