I do not condone raping, pillaging & co; and anyone who commits such crimes should be shot on the post imo, but after all it's really just History repeating itself over and over again. I dare you to point at a nation whose people have never commited war crimes, or worse.

There's no justice in war.

Brother, I don't know about you, but if my commanding officer ordered me to rape a woman or be shot for treason I would rather go to my grave a moral, dignified man than live a life as a cowardly rapist. Go before your god and ask him if he can forgive your sins under the pretense of "just following orders". See if he has mercy for you.

Obedience is good; blind obedience is not. Blind obedience has been the downfall of many, including the historical Fascist movements. We cannot commit their mistakes lest we join them in obliteration.
