The US Court Martial did not accept that plead, on the grounds that the captain should have questioned the order ob the grounds of its legality and morality. At the end he was sent to prison. Similarly I think Dr Kendal-Smith is acting properly but the problem is US and UK leaders and establishment are hypocrites. They have no principleas, just bend rules and morality to suit what they want.
