    Yes. I wonder what the outcomes of centering the soldiers gult is?

    Do we want the solution to be that soldiers have to consider every order given within the historical context of the time to decide the morally correct actions and do them even if it means court martial or death?

    Don’t get me wrong. I’m okay for soldiers to do this in extreme examples. But I don’t think this should be the norm.

    I think we should shift the focus to the leaders instead of the soldiers. They are better positioned to make these decisions and have the time to do so.

    And it’s their job.

      Thank you. 18 year old kids who were never given a sufficient education in history, civics, political science, and basic morality can’t be blamed for working as a cook, secretary, nurse, electrician, intel analyst, etc in the military so that they can afford college.
