300. and I'd appreciate you not defining my argument
as you clearly do not have a clue. I have responded to statements such as "US soldiers are victims" I do not beleive for a second that weer the US invaded and occupied and a similar percentage of the community killed or imprisoned that you would view that illegal occupaying force as victims - if you think you would then fair enough - but would really?
Yes the leadership is responsible for the war itself - did anyone suggest that the troops wanted to go there or would that eb more hyperbole? - yes the chain of command mustr accept the MAJORITY of the blame - but individual soldiers also have some culpability - what would make you rape someone? or pose them for a torture photographic essay?
If YOU can't accept the paralells between not accepting "following orders" as an excuse for others and not accepting it for one's own soldiers then there really isn't anything to say
