This war shows a large inconsistency, with regard to morality. In 1945, the Nuremberg trials declared that "I was only following orders" was not an adequate defense for immoral actions. Then, when soldiers refused to be deployed to Iraq because of moral objections, believing in their right to do so based on the results of the Nuremberg trials, the result was "soldiers are not expected to make their own moral decisions unless their orders directly conflict with the Geneva Conventions." In other words "we have moral standards when it suits us". |

Even refusing an illegal (U.S. law) order has no meaning since there is apparently no way to prove it illegal, as the Lt. Watada case showed. Watada claimed the war is illegal but the evidence of illegality was not allowed in his court martial. http://www.couragetoresist.org/x/content/view/786/1/ -- Each person has an individual responsibility to determine if his actions are moral, and no government or army may ever take that responsibility away. definition: murder - the unjustifiable and intentional killing of people, NO EXCEPTIONS. |
