So, since you brought up Nazis, were they following illegal orders? Did they think so at the time?
What differentiates a legal order from an illegal order, in your mind? As long as it comes from the proper chain of command it is legal?
Do you think that the troops that cleared out Lafayette Square were following legal or illegal orders?
I’m not trying to be snarky or gotcha, just trying to get a baseline on what you consider to be a legal order, and what could cause it to be an illegal order.
