but surely if you would be happy to shoot anyone your government told you to, you must believe them to be 100% correct in their decisions. this should include the orders to shoot your own family as well then shouldn't it?
what would you do if your government told you too jump in front of a bus?
It is hard for someone who isnt in the military to understand following orders given to someone . im in the forces myself and follow orders - even if i dont agree with them i still follow them .I dont have any other choice due to the establishment i am in and thats the way it goes . If things go wrong the its the person who gives the orders who gets in the.
That's b*llocks lad.
Utter b*llocks, and you know it. A good person doesn't say "Well mate, I f*cked him up with a 12 bore because my Sgt told me to, even though I disagreed."
You have a brain and a conscience. Use them.
The pain of a beasting lasts a damn sight less than that of a guilty mind.
