Reply #267: Actually I wont take responsibility

[Djinn]

for BUsh because (a) it didn't vote for him and (b) I'm not an American.

I will however take responsibility for the Australian troops there who despite several times refusing some requests made by US military command because they violated Australian codes of conduct during war I'm sure have been responsible for some Iraqi civilian deaths.

Second I never said anything about "loosing control of the army" I just said calling US troops victims is offensive to Iraqis.

I am also concerned with staying alive but in order for that to happen without me being involved in Imperial wars havn't joined the army.

I do not "blame" those that have and have NEVER said that ALL soldiers are war criminals but those who are get NO sympathy simply because they were "following orders".

Do you hold Nazi's who helped gas jews, communists, trade unionists, socialists, gypsies etc responsible even if they wer only following orders? or Japanese soldiers who brutalised people in POW camps? especially given thsoe soldiers would have faced death for disobeying rather than court martial - or is it just US soldiers who get the "get out of jail free" card?
