Documents that would expose your countries atrocities, pointless fighting and bring an end to the ongoing war you're both embroiled in?










Your best friend has a wife, and child. To kill him would be to widow her and leave the child fatherless. Could you do your perceived duty and protect your country? Or would you feel a moral obligation to the people, to expose the war for what it has really been?

Letting or helping him expose the documents, will make it known that every death and loss up to that point was for nothing. Your action, or inaction at least, could affect the ability of your fellow comrades to cope with their actions during the war. As well as the possibility of being labeled a traitor or the inability to return home.

depends on my loyalties.

like, if I was drafted and didn't believe in the war, the dude can do what he wants.

if I was fighting for love of country/thought it was a just war, then I might have to clap this guy.

For the sake of argument, you were drafted but up until that point you had otherwise believed it to be a just war. The documents, per your friend, would expose the truth. Your actions would either (forever) hide the truth of the war or expose the truth.

If an institution can be harmed by the truth, it should be.

You can't just kill someone on your own side. The obvious choice is to report it to the chain of command.

I'd never enlist or do my best to avoid being drafted in the first place.

Outside of the nazis, or stuff like slave rebellions very few wars in history were justified. If I somehow managed to find myself in this scenario, I'd absolutely help him leak the documents. People matter. Nations suck.

Yes but everything up to this point, every death and loss will have been for nothing.

It already was for nothing, based on the truth. It's not your fault the country lied.

I'd probably help him release it even if he was my worst enemy.

Some would perpetuate the lie, just to be able to live with themselves.

Not saying its right, btw

Even if it means being labeled a traitor and potentially having to live on the run or at least possibly never being able to return home? Those who are corrupt rarely take slaps to the face lying down.

How much are we in this fictional army; 1000 or 1M?

I think that we could need to save the resources and live with the problem.

Better to fight the corrupt then bend over for them or worse help maintain their lies.
