A tragic story. As soldiers we have the right to disobey an unlawful order but it's tough to defend in courts martial hearings. I hope that unlike the My Lai incident that the officers in the chain of command are held accountable.
There is no excuse for this.
No, Larry there isn't. Yet we see this so often. I wonder why?
And the upper line damn well better be!
This is just really, really sad all around. We're not sinking in the mud, we are under it and drowning.
There was a book that I read way back in the 70's called "Military Justice is to Justice, what Military Music is to Music". It examined the archaic Military Justice system and it's many flaws. For those of you that read these blogs and also served your country as Ziem and I both have you will get an ironic chuckle out of the book.
I have never heard of it... but I'm headed to Amazon now!
It may be out of print by now. Not sure when it was written or by whom, but I got it out of the library sometime in the late 70's. If you can't find it on amazon check your local library.
