| 43. Sorry, but the Nuremberg trials set the precedent that "following orders" |
|
is not an excuse. A soldier is not supposed to set aside his or her humanity for the sake of following orders. While there are some that do, sometimes too many, there are many more that are deeply troubled by the situation their country has put them in.
Then there are the few, the precious few, that will risk everything to stand for principle. There were soldiers that threw their weapons on the ground and refused to board helicopters to take them into Cambodia, there were others that threatened to shoot other GIs if they continued killing innocent civilians, and there may well be some today that have taken the same courageous stand in disclosing the inhuman and illegal conditions at Guantanamo.
