If you're given an order that you know goes against the UCMJ, you're duty-bound to disobey. So if an officer tells you to, I don't know, execute an unarmed civilian, you're supposed to disobey and "tell on him".

Being a soldier is a bizarre trade. So much immaturity and politics in a realm where "killing the enemy" is the primary objective. Filled with contradictions. But war is a messy business, isn't it?
