No. A soldier can refuse to obey an illegal order. However, there are practical reasons why one might choose not to.
What I mean is you cannot legally stop your CO from ordering a massacre. You can still abstain from the order, but you can't stop it without facing a court martial.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
