Dope1: There is no "illegal order".

Of course there are “illegal orders”. The order to attack My Lai was an illegal order. The orders to torture and abuse detainees at Abu Ghraib Prison were illegal orders.

Trump wanted to have protesters shot: “Just shoot them,” and when challenged said, “Well — shoot them in the leg, or maybe the foot, but be hard on them.” Had he not been told that, no, knucklehead, he couldn't do that and had the military done so, they would have been following illegal orders.
