Watch the video, Taxi to the dark side. Soldiers who tortured people reflect on what they did. The military make people into monsters. The Monsters in charge should be charged with the same crimes as the soldiers who carried out the crimes.

NO solidiers ARE reponsible. I am not having that they can be 'let off' for war crimes. They didn't have to join up. They are old enough to say fukin no!

[AndrogynyQueen]

true but they would be disobeying orders ....they can get in a lot of trouble for insubordination

[zezt]

so disobey orders. this is the whole point! You cannot just follow authority when you know it is wrong. You have to say NO!

read about stanley milgram's obedience experiments. you'll see just how people can commit horrible acts when they are commanded by someone in authority over them.

The Geneva convention says they must disobey orders that are wrong - its part of their training
