You have a right to disobey an illegal order, right?

Does being ordered to fight in an illegal war that hadn't started when you enlisted count as an illegal order?

There is a strong body of opinion that says that international wars of aggression are illegal (remember Nuremburg), and that the war in Iraq qualifies as such. I know this POV will never be tested in an American court, but it does give some moral authority to the decision to desert. There's more involved than just signing a contract.
