    So the Nuremburg trials still hold fast as an example here. A soldier can make the determination to undergo potential courtmartial, or he can avoid the death squad. I know which one I’d pick. We don’t have mindless soldiers in our military.

    If an order violates the law, they are wise to disobey, just as I said.

    No matter who you are or what the situation is, the ‘right thing’ just might come with a price, and a good person is simply willing to pay it.
