"It is NOT up to this soldier to decide what orders he is or is not going to follow"

Really? And did we except this reasoning at Nuremburg?

Are you really trying to suggest that ordering a soldier to deploy to Afghanistan with his unit is no different from ordering a soldier to commit a Nazi-style war crime?

Are you suggesting that no orders should be followed, because some Nazis used the "just following orders" defense?

Your argument (such as it is) is silly.
