> More prisoners? - "Just shoot them"

There is one total and undeniable truth. At every level of training you are told repeatedly that you are not only not to obey, you are to report any illegal or immoral orders you believe you have received. With your length of service, you must have heard that dozens of times and seen it in writing numerous other times.

If you did not believe that the interregator was kidding ("He was not joking around, he was giving us a directive.") you had a moral and legal responsibility to report it. Failure to do so was immoral and illegal and showed a lack of courage. Note the slogan for this website — the military subscribes fully to this re illegal or immoral orders.

To now come off as this great "moral giant", willing to brave the criticism of others is beyond ridicule. The damage that you do in playing into the propoganda of our enemies is real and significant

To slander your brothers in arms without having giving them a chance to deal with it at the time and in the proper way is one of the most cowardly acts that I have heard from this war.
