I guess my memory is failing me once again.....I thought the invalidity of
the
"I was only obeying orders" defense was in the context of needlessly and
deliberately killing detainees in their custody, not in merely humiliating or
degrading them.

The "ve ver only volloving orders" defense didn't wash for the Nazis who didn't
kill anyone either. Take a look beyond the big Nuremburg trial with Goering
etc.

In any event if humiliation is is against the law you, as a GI, are required
to disobey an order telling you to humiliate. They taught you that in
basic/OCS/ROTC.
