Gah, the answer is yes, if servicemembers want to avoid criminal prosecution, they must follow all LAWFUL orders & ALSO NOT follow orders they KNOW/should know are UNLAWFUL. UCMJ, art. 90; US v. Calley (1974). Every member bears this burden b/c we tho't the Nazi justfollowingorders defense was bad.
BLITZER: I want to be precise. Should members of the US military obey clearly illegal orders?
McCLAIN: You're asking an enlisted person for their opinion on what they think is legal. That's a pretty slippery slope. Follow your commander in chief. That's the oath that you took
(Not a no!)

At schools, young people share a lot with their classmates: many lessons, joyous and sad moments.
They stand up and say, “No! You can't take any of us away!”

The CDC’s new autism page reads like an anti-vax blog, and the agency's employees are not happy about it.

The extent of the damage done to public health, biomedical science, and healthcare in the US in less than a year will take a generation or more to repair. This is the scale of the destruction. Let that sink in. A new president, Congress won't be enough to reverse things fully. It's that bad.
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

A president calling for death penalties against lawmakers is a red line and the Uniform Code of Military Justice exists to stop exactly this kind of abuse.
