> refusing an illegal order is a requirement under the uniform code of conduct
Interesting. Does that apply on all levels, not only for generals and admirals but all ranks all the way down to the private soldiers?
Anyone who takes an oath the defend the constitution can be prosecuted for following unconstitutional orders. Every single one. Beginning, but not ending with, the first person to give the order.
Obviously, guilty high level individuals with political power will argue differently, but they would be wrong.
I hope that clears up the uncertainty.

What is certain is that folks in power get away, and those at the bottom of the chain of command usually don't

In a word... YES
