QuoteAs it's been said many times, when you raise your hand, you wave your right to decide what is "just", or "not just". You follow your orders, and complete your mission.
Dissidents in the ranks is a cancer that cannot be tolerated
I know I will get flamed for this but....
I agree with you that the military should follow orders. But what you are saying here sounds like what german soldiers in WW2 were told as they commited war crimes. Military personal should never just blindly follow orders without thinking, because what if one day they are ordered to execute civilians, or some other war crime?

Illegal orders are illegal orders, regardless of the circumstance, and soldiers have (rightly) refused to follow them.
Outside of illegal orders, however, soldiers are expected to obey the orders given them... such as reporting for movement.

QuoteJust to be on the right page, you are referring to the USSR proposal of the Possibility and Desirability of a Definition of Aggression of 378B of 17 nov 1950?
The most recent definition I found was from 1974,and it still looks pretty much the same:http://daccessdds.un.org/doc/RESOLUTION/GEN/NR0/739/16/IMG/NR073916.pdf?OpenElement

Still incorrect - we don't have to say "Mother, may I?" to the UN.

Yup, you're right. It hasn't changed much. I take back what I've said about it "changing through time".
But, that Resolution is for the purpose of adopting the definiton of "Agression" not determinig legalization of wars. The puropse of that Resolution was to make Capter 7, articles 39 to 51 make sense. Those articles define what actions or assistance they will provide for/against aggressive nations, not determine legality. No legality/Illegality exists between nations. There's no Super-Sovreignity. Laws exists only inside borders of nations. If the U.N. is strong enough, it may sanction against undesirable behaviors.
