31. And you'd be wrong

this is about the responsibity of the citizen, and as a citizen you and I are responsible for the actions of our CIVILIAN controlled military. A government that YOU AND I, well not you, elect.

This is a deep philosophical concept that is pretty alien to modern Americans, but we don't teach civics anymore

This is at the heart of civic life, what at one time was called, the PUBLIC sphere.

And you are right, it does not make you a Nuremberg Defendant, just part of the clean up crew at... Bergen Belsen. Why do you think Eisenhower gave that order?
