+1 and maybe the military folks would have more success in their logic position by pointing out that the military doesn't teach that they kill because someone told them too, it teaches them how to defend themselves and their country from martial aggression. Further it includes ethics training and the option to refuse a direct order should they feel that order is immoral. Remember all of the trials such as Abu GrabAss and that Wall Streeter guy? The core of these trials was to hold the soldiers accountable for immoral action whether it was ordered or not. So while Wayne makes a fair point, it's wrong. He doesn't understand the training and code of conduct. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:188490 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
