Topic	Moral Dilemma: You're a soldier and you're ordered to kill unarmed civilians.
UnfairRepresent 01/01/20 10:37:35 AM #25:	wackyteen posted... As an actual soldier in the United States Army, I am not mandated to follow any order that is immoral, illegal, or unethical. Nor am I allowed to command soldiers under me to perform acts that would be considered immoral, illegal, or unethical. Soldiers under me would be well within their right to refuse any orders of that nature. Would I potentially face consequences for refusal? It's possible but generally I feel you'd be within your right to refuse the given order. Okay But I'm reading a lot of accounts from soldiers, some first hand, some from reporters writing up interviews/stories which just ultimately boil down to "Yeah I shot them. We had orders.
