To kill or not to kill? Soldiers of Conscience is a powerful and balanced look at the choice a soldier makes when he finally must pull the trigger. In fact, it's clear all soldiers wrestle with the morality of killing in war. It's a split-second decision in the heat of combat that can never be forgotten or undone. A rare documentary, full of action, and clever at the same time! Recently broadcast to acclaim on PBS.

After World War II, a US Army study revealed that three quarters of combat soldiers given the chance to fire on the enemy failed to do so. Despite training, the average individual has such an inner resistance toward killing a fellow man that he will not take a life if it is possible not to.

  • People thinking they are joining to defend America need to stop being so nieve. You think Dick Cheney was thinking about defending freedom while drawing up plans for the occupation of Iraq.Yeah right. He was thinking about an oil supply that is running out. Before you let your son enlist you need to take a long hard honest look at what the U S gov has used thier armed forces for in modern times.All this talk of patriotism is a delusional fantasy that lets people sleep better at night .

  • its sad so many people in this world brainwashed by religion

  • hmmm

  • Joined the Army...Caus I could be a Marine. Following illegal and unlawful orders because I was taught now to question why ... but to do or die. It is not our war but the government who makes up the reason and sends us to do what they will not. Oath Keepers, The White Coat Project (7th Day Adventists in Vietnam). If you follow any order by the illegal alien commander in chief you are guilty of war crimes just as he is.

  • WTF? was 9-11 not real? I had friends who joined the military after they lost loved ones on 9-11, like how our grandparents joined after Pearl Harbor. Cheney aside, we were attacked. That was not a figment of Bush's imagination.

  • SLA Marshall's research has been debunked. You people have no clue. Does anyone posting on here know why the US Army is over one year older than our country?

  • One thing they all have in common: the IQ of a dead squirrel.

  • @JasonDamisch Turning ANYONE into killers is sickening.

  • You can hate me for saying this, but putting women through this, and turning them into killers as well, is doubly heinous.

  • @Geo408 I appreciate your stance, but its not really yor right to be saying before parents let thier sons or daughters join up... thats not their decision. You can give them the facts... but you arent allowed in that case to give personal feelings, the facts are the facts and nothing else.

  • For 100 years you stand the world as a peace-bringer out.

    It presents you the last 100 years as a bringer of peace and world policeman.

    But since then constantly find yourself in a world-wide war of aggression.

    Do you believe you actually own?

  • @Geo408 You think were going to power our entire country on fucking pixie dust? You may think we can just magically put up some solar panels and our problems will be solved but it's not that fucking simple.

    You have no idea about how the world truly works, I'm sure you've heard tons of conspiracy theorists say that but neither do they. These times are history in the making. We've hit peak oil.
