Not in this country. In the Uniform Code of Military Justice (which governs the actions of our armed forces) it is a soldier's explicit responsibility to not follow illegal orders.
And if a subordinate is not qualified or capable of determining if his actions are a crime or not (I'm thinking of a hitman, or mob underling), then that doesn't change whether or not he's guilty of the crime.
