After Vietnam it was understood that if a commanding officer gives you orders that go against the values of your country, it is your civic duty to disobey the orders.

That's a rather erroneous statement. There's no specific values of your country. It is either a lawful order or not a lawful order. Granted, it's sometimes hard to tell, but there is very specific military training on what is and is not a lawful order based on a lot of different factors figured out by very smart and knowledgeable lawyers and experts.

It's what I don't understand. Police and armies all over the world do this. If you know Its wrong then why go along with it. Just walk away. I mean who or what are you going against your own people for? Some company ,politics or worse religion. Go fight your own fucking battles .leave us alone
