Wouldn't it still be illegal for the troops to carry out that order? The ruling doesn't make the order legal; it makes the President immune from prosecution for giving the order. Granted, depending on troops to refuse to carry out an illegal order isn't much comfort, but it's not nothing.

Sure, but the President could just then pardon them.

But they could be arrested and even executed for failing to follow orders, and that execution would be done in the President's "official" capacity as C&C and therefore be fine according to Roberts.
