Re: In Defense of war criminals?
Excuse me wheelslip, but 50 bad apples didn't murder 15,000 Iraqi civilians.
I don't hold the rank and file responsible. per se, as I'm sure the bulk of them wouldn't have gotten on planes, flown to Iraq and killed innocent Iraqi men, women and children without orders from George W Bush.
However, when your orders include dropping bombs on civilian targets, sniping little old Muslim ladies, or dumping machine gun fire into a family vehicles full of women and children, it's time to be a conscientious objector. The German soldiers in Nazi death camps were 'just following orders' too. That doesn't cut it with me.
It's not defense of America, it's murder ... plain and simple. May God have mercy on their souls...
