    As long as your superiors order is lawful under the UCMJ and rules of war (Geneva and Hague Conventions, etc.). Generally speaking, a junior enlisted soldier would not be expected to know every detail of the legal requirements and if he or she obeyed an unlawful order, that should be taken into consideration and the superior held accountable.Hope this has been helpful. +5
