Should military officers refuse to obey Trump's (potential) order to blow up civilian infrastructure? Or should they consider being charged with war crimes a risk of the job?

They should refuse to commit war crimes, yes.

Military officers should refuse to follow any illegal orders.

Based on today’s press conference, Trump and Hegseth are planning to issue directives which violate the Geneva Convention.

It wasn’t that long ago when Trump called Capitan Senator Mark Kelly & 5 other Dems traitors, tried to retaliate & failed to indict them over a video informing the military they can ignore illegal orders.

Every single accusation is a confession.

Choosing what orders to follow isn’t how the military works but it’s truly fascinating you believe that’s possible.

Officers are legally and honor-bound to refuse any order that is illegal, unlawful, immoral, or unethical.

Id be concerned about them hauling you in for war crimes as soon as they haul in Putin for going after Ukrainian infrastructure or Xi for putting Uyghars in concentration camps.

They should exercise their legal right to do so, yes. The US destroying civilian infrastructure is nothing new, they have been doing this in virtually every war they've ever fought.

Regardless of what we have or haven't done in the past, it's a war crime. It is illegal to follow an unlawful order. The law requires military officers to refuse to obey unlawful orders. If they commit war crimes, "following orders" is not a justifiable defense.
