Kain Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 I already said i'm just repeating what I said. So if its false, drop it. Nobody cares if its false. I know I wouldn't care if it was true. Little bastard shoulda stayed with his mother instead of running off. And even if it was true, I'm sure the soldier wouldn't of been tried, the government would have for issuing him the order.

Originally posted by MydnightPsion And even if it was true, I'm sure the soldier wouldn't of been tried, the government would have for issuing him the order. It would have been an "Unlawful Order," which is described as: (1) Direct the commission of a crime. (2) Interfere with the private rights or personal affairs of others. (3) Conflict with the statutory or constitutional rights of the person receiving the order. Tomb guards are given, in addition to their General Orders, 3 Special Orders: (1) I will prevent any desecration to the Tomb and irreverent or unseemly acts in its imediate vicinity. (2) When circumstances warrant and the civilian guard is not available,I will apprehend desecrators and call the Corporal of the Guard. (3) In inclement weather I understand that I may use the sentry boxes. When in the sentry box, I will stand at Parade Rest. Orders to kill are expected to be evaluated by the person receiving the order. The order must be judged to come from a competant authority to be followed. And it must relate to military duty to accomplish a military mission. No soldier is expected to just "blindly" follow orders. Those that do and commit a crime will be punished to the fullest extent of the Uniformed Code of Military Conduct. SkinWalker SSG, US Army ret.
