The last point is so creepy. So they are allowed to kill other countries’ civilians?

Uhm. This is not article 92. https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid%3AUSC-prelim-title10-section892&num=0&edition=prelim
That's worrying...
"you must follow legal orders" does not imply "you must refuse illegal orders"
Without a broader reading this section implies that obeying illegal orders is optional... which also implies it'll be on the service member to prove the order they disobeyed was illegal, at their court martial. Which puts a lot of pressure on them to do what they're told, they have to be really certain the order is illegal 🫤
When I was in the army during basic they even said, you can object to an illegal order, but if pressed you need to follow it. State the objection for the record and that will come out in whatever investigation could follow.
