Your link was forwarded to me, so people do read your thoughts. Unfortunately, it's unlikely that any amount of discourse will change most people's minds, regardless of the topic. The truth is that most people start with a particular worldview, and then massage reality to fit that worldview.<br /><br />As to a soldier's duty, in both US and international law, a soldier is required to obey lawful orders, and to DISOBEY unlawful orders. A soldier who follows orders to fire upon unarmed civilians can be prosecuted in military court.
