Does a member of the military have the right to refuse the direct order of the president?

If the order is illegal, they'd be in hotter water if they didn't.

Is that so? I thought one main staple of military ranks was that if the soldier rejects an order because of judicial concerns but the superior tells them to do it anyways the judicial blame is on that superior

Nope, I was just following orders is no valid defence.
