78. My least popular? The belief that troops that engage in torture are as
guilty for doing it as are those who created the policies that allow them to. Military personnel are taught to obey only lawful orders, tney are able to differentiate between right and wrong.

I support the majority of our troops, but those who engage in torture and willful mistreatment of innocents have lost my support and respect, regardless of who they are.
