But the bar for an "illegal" order is very, very high. It has to be something that is, on its face, clearly and flagrantly a crime. "Execute those prisoners." "Round up the townsfolk and shoot them." "Burn down every building in that village." "Shoot the private next to you." "Take down the US flag and run up this Nazi one." "Bomb the headquarters of CBS."

Most examples are fine, but "Bomb the headquarters of CBS"? That could be a fine military objective for an opponent trying to reduce the US's communications ability. This writer probably works for CBS?
