Insubordinate.

Benjamin Ferencz was recruited by chief prosecutor Telford Taylor to join the US team at the Nuremberg trials established by the victorious Allied powers. Taylor noted his army files said he was "occasionally insubordinate", to which Ferencz replied: "That’s not correct, sir. I am usually insubordinate. I don't take orders that I know are stupid or illegal."

Our entire system of justice, fairness, kindness, and freedom to love - depends on courageous insubordinates like Ben Ferencz.

He discharged from the United States Army with the rank of Sergeant.
