‘allegedly’
That means it’s made up.
Anyone remember the scene in Dr. Zhivago where the troops turned around? The superiors were outnumbered as I recall. Didn’t get it. Got themselves killed.
Then there’s the scene in The Big Red One(Lee Marvin flick). The French battery commander refused to shoot Americans landing in Algeria. It wasn’t smart. The French General shot him and then proceeded to shoot Americans. A couple of French soldiers in turn shot him.
I wouldn’t openly disobey. There are better ways to come out of it alive.
