I've done that, more than once.bullshit. if he honestly didn't know why - because he had done NOTHING wrong - AND given the atmosphere ... being a black dude these days seems to be a terminal illness - AND he put his own phone on to record because of that quandry, AND - being in the military, he certainly understands justifide 'commands'.
So what do you think what would happen to him if a higher rank officer gave him a command and he refused it because he claimed he was afraid of the higher ranked solder, or he didn't think the command was proper?
When a police officer pulls you over, you don't assume you didn't do anything wrong and therefore disobey their orders. You pull over, do what they tell you to do, and they'll explain why they pulled you over. If you're going to act like an asshole, they're going to treat you like an asshole.
When I was instructed to do something that was against regs by higher ups, I just flat refused on several occasions, and then documented it.
A few times, they tried to get me for disobeying orders but they kept running into that whole "illegal orders" thing...... so they would figure out some way to backstab me or try to fuck up my career, bad NCOERs, etc.
All organizations like this are run by people that are basically authoritarian trash. It's the Iron Law of Bureaucracy.
