An RAF doctor who refused to go to Iraq did not have the "responsibility" to judge the legality of orders given to him, a court martial has been told.
Flt Lt Malcolm Kendall-Smith, 37, who was based at RAF Kinloss in Scotland, has already served twice in Iraq but last year defied an order to return.
He claimed his actions were justified as he saw UK involvement as illegal.
The prosecution said such an argument could not be considered a defence to his refusal to comply with commands.
Very hypocritical considering the stance taken over most soliders having a great moral obligation to themselves than to the state. For example the WWII war crimes tribunal...
