@PhoenixSerenity The My Lai Massacre was something that was taught to us going through Army basic training back in the mid 90s. What was emphasized was something like that should *never* happen again. Between that and the Nuremberg trials, “just following orders” was not a defense nor an excuse. That as a “professional” soldier, hold yourself and your fellow soldiers to a higher standard. I have no idea what’s been taught these days, but I remember that like it was yesterday

    @PhoenixSerenity But the recent actions of the military tells me that either that wasn’t taught universally or was chucked out the second it was “inconvenient”. I’m not sure what’s worse at this point
