Soldiers don't have to obey an unlawful order. Any order that violates constitutional rights of citizens is an unlawful order.

Most junior soldiers don’t understand the concept of an unlawful order. And the senior enlisted and officers are too invested in their careers to go against the grain. Will some disobey? Sure. But most will simply salute and say yes sir.

Could they not actually be charged with a crime if they did such a thing as this. As a soldier is your duty not more to following your Constitution and protecting citizens, than it is to following some orders. Haven't some Nazi soldiers and many others been charged with war crimes of which they followed their orders. Simply doing something because you were ordered to do it doesn't make it not criminal.
