This whole army thing is confusing. No wonder so many of these guys come back from tour really messed up.....Actually they were probably messed up to start with but that's another story.
This guy claims he was ordered by his superiors to do all that inhumane stuff. If that is true he gets 10 years for following orders.
Now the guys who decide they don't want to go over to Iraq to be part of this illegal 'war' and all that murdering and butchery are also at risk of getting heavy sentences for NOT following orders.
It's a strange old live in the army!

Agreed, most people (usually those that have never been in the military) will tell you that the military makes you crazy....in reality if you had a weak mind before you went in, you will have a weak mind while you are in and you will have a weak mind when you get you out.

This guy can't say "I followed orders that is why I violated the law" because following an order that goes against the law is not an order, that that one can give order other to violate the law"

When the United States, by way of the US Congress. authorizes war that makes that war "legal" in the eyes of the American system of government and the constitution.

If one is part of that military, and Congress authorizes military action......not to go is illegal, and therfeore a warrior can not say "I'm not going becasue its an illegal war". The order to go to war is a valid one, and not following it is "not following an orders"

While there are those who believe the war to be illegal via International Law, in America, the action was very much legal.
