A soldier/sailor/marine/whatever does
not have the right to igonore an order.
What he does have is the option of doing is following up with command after the fact. His unwillingness to act may cause a loss of life. He is generally not in possession of enough information to make that decision.
In this case, he is still breaking the UCMJ, but at least it wasn't in combat.
