RE: Ordering Others to Do Bad Things: Who is to Blame?

in #authority7 years ago (edited)

there are good orders and bad orders - how you choose and what you choose to follow is and always was an independent choice of the individual.

you certainly can't blame a command structure for an individual choice. if you join a groups with a hierarchy or command structure you must have known right from the beginning you would have to follow orders irregardless of what those orders were/are.

a good example: history is perfectly clear about the lies of government when it comes to war. every single person above adolescent age knows wars are for money and power.

choices upon the crossroads of life have consequences. i certainly made a free will choice not to join any government run organization. those who joined and have become nothing more than tools of the establishment also made a choice.

live with the consequences. I do.

Sort:  

Truth or consequence. Be right or go wrong :)

but what are the consequences... are those that do wrong willing to live with the consequences.

take the last half a dozen presidential administrations and their insatiable desires for war at all costs.. seems to me they don't seem to be bothered by the horrors thrust upon the populations they bombed into submission in the name of twisted peace initiatives. millions upon millions of people slaughtered and they get awarded peace prizes and accolades for their war crimes...

doesn't seem fair does it.
