I think the question is very reasonable, your example is flawed because question is not about examples of someone not doing something, he is asking if someone

  > he is asking if someone actively worked against or seriously questioned of a murder he/she is ordered to commit How could one reasonably produce publicly available documentation where someone refused to execute an unlawful order? Why would someone issue such an order in the first place? Think about what could possibly motivate a soldier's action: the consequences of questioning an order are far less severe than the consequences of executing an unlawful order. "I was only following orders" has long been discredited as a legal defense. > Parent is sceptical because of priori contrary evidence that military actions and morals conflict frequently. Morals are not universal. To which morals are you referring specifically? Some people are morally opposed to violence in principle, the military obviously is not. [Edit] I'm still in disagreement as to the logic of the question, but I am beginning to think that the mere existence of court martials in the interest of upholding military law (ie, codified morals of the military) should be sufficient proof that a military body can exhibit a strong sense of morality.
