      Much like with sexual assault prevention training, the whole "you are legally obligated NOT to follow an unlawful order" training is almost entirely performative Because it's obvious that you will ALWAYS be wrong about what is unlawful and ALWAYS be retaliated upon for askinghttps://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1226217161816805376 …

      Yeah there's a whole conversation about how the basic point of the whole concept of military discipline is to train you NOT to second guess the orders you get because lives depend on everyone doing as they're told Which makes the "exception" for illegal orders a problem https://twitter.com/gwensnyderPHL/status/1226212529170456576 …

      There's this mentality that if you're asked to commit a war crime by your NCO then you can just go up the chain of command and prove he broke the law But what'll probably happen is that they'll say you don't know anything about war crimes because you're an uneducated grunt

      The fact of the matter is that with higher rank comes a deeper understanding of the systems at work in the military, and on paper that means people of rank are meant to be "advisors" to the lower ranks, but in practice it just means they know the rules of the game and you don't

      So no, you can't go up against somebody who outranks you without, at best, turning it into a suicide bombing. It will ALWAYS catch up with you, sooner or later. The moment you take a stand, your career catches a prion disease. And no, anonymous reporting will not save you.

      When I told someone at a party that I worked for the government contractor that ran in the anonymous sexual harassment and assault reporting website for the USMC she got really heated about how there was no point to it being anonymous if you were the only woman in your unit

      And that she could take care of herself but she knew lots of horror stories about the brass starting a big public investigation that never went anywhere and just opened up the one woman everyone knew blew the whistle to more bullying and harassment

      I didn't really have the heart to tell her that 1) This is a problem with the basic way the brass does things and the coding of the website has no impact on it, 2) I had absolutely no ability to influence how the website was coded

      3) I didn't even technically work for that company, I worked for the bullshit startup the owner of the company was skimming the profits off of that let me share an office with that company, but I said I worked for the company because I had no idea what my actual job was

          (Yes, in hindsight the stress of having a completely fake job invented by an incompetent boss for unclear reasons is extremely First World Problems but there's a certain unique anxiety that comes with it)
