I find it hard to believe you could be punished in the military system if you followed your superior orders.<p>Edit: my bad, in fact you can, if the order is illegal, and it has been unsuccessfully used as a legal defense in hundreds of cases. 
But, considering what you risk when you don&#x27;t follow orders, it seems like a tought decision to take.
If you don&#x27;t follow orders, you are done and will probably be punished. And if you follow and you get caught it&#x27;s on you and you will have to assume full responsability...<p>Here is more info on this subject: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;usmilitary.about.com&#x2F;cs&#x2F;militarylaw1&#x2F;a&#x2F;obeyingorders.htm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;usmilitary.about.com&#x2F;cs&#x2F;militarylaw1&#x2F;a&#x2F;obeyingorders....</a>
