Zimmerman has a great lawyer, I agree. I imagine that the Iraqi government will have their cabinet in attendance.
I don’t think anyone should be murdered. I do think that legal orders should be followed.
I’m torn, though, about those times when orders are simply wrong. In the war of 1812, Captain Nathan Heald was ordered by Gen. William Hull to leave Ft Dearborn even though it meant certain death at the hands of a pro-British Indian confederacy. He was even strongly warned against it by William Wells, who I think was the son-in-law of William Henry Harrison.
His response: “I’ve got to follow orders.”
But, they were grossly stupid orders.
The general who gave the orders, William Hull, went on to lead his army to one of America’s worst defeats ever when victory should have easily been his.
Eager to hear more about the specifics. I think we’ve all learned that the media ignores the defense in these cases, so we only hear prosecution charges. Hopefully, we’ll get a fuller picture of the events.
