Reply #17: Troops - Stop Obeying Criminal Orders! [View All]

[earthside]

Perhaps as members of the reality-based community, we need to start publicly asking the troops to start refusing orders that are illegal and result in the killing of innocent people.

If individual members of the military in Iraq started saying "No! I won't kill anymore" this immoral war would come to a screeching stop.

Of course, it will take moral and ethical courage and bravery ... something most members of the military cannot do because it doesn't require using a gun. But it wouldn't take many troops to stop the slaughter and going to the brig before this whole phony, Bush-ordered, massacre of innocents would end.
