such an action CANNOT GO UNPUNISHED. It would be morally wrong to not punish someone for such a previous action. If we allow those who have acted out the most heinous crimes known to continue their lives, we are morally responsible not only for the injustice therein but also for what they did.
The soldiers (or guards) have a responsibility to do the right thing, no matter what the consequence. Even if this is not outright physical opposition, there must be some type of stand against such horrible things. The guards are not innocent, they are complacent and guilty of this.
Read the Nuremberg Trials and the statements of the judges (tribunal members), and you will be surprised.
A criminal's unpunished life is a harm to society, and their freedom is a harm to society. To NOT pursue and punish such people would the greatest harm to society.
