I realize that.  But is carrying out a first strike order by the Commander in Chief, an illegal order?  In the way that the General put it, it makes him the arbitor of what is and is not a legal order.  There is no point of law on this that I am aware.  it's one thing on the battlefield, it's another when it is a direct order from the President of the United States, who hold sole authority to launch.
