I was only following orders !

[psychocat]

After hearing the arguments put forward by the people accused of abusing Iraqi "prisoners" at Abu Ghraib prison I believe I may well have heard their excuses before.
Wasn't the defense of Nazi soldiers who carried out the hollocaust "I was only following orders" ?
They should be locked up for the shit they did and be subjected to what they put others through, IMO.
Any thoughts ??

With you all the way. I anticipated they were probably "just following orders" since the whole scenario came up. Kick all those responsible out of the army, back to their families in shame.

And the same for the Brit troops abusing Iraqi prisoners.

[amsterdam]

what we do now is nothing.the last time we were attacked at home we dropped two atomic weapons and wiped out two cities.

though, I may not agree with their actions against the prisioners, I dont think in imprisioning are men and women of the Armed Forces. Their risking their ass out there and then you imprison them for fighting for our country. All is fair in love and war.
