      They will do whatever the Führer tells them. It’s naive to assume otherwise. Just look at history.

            The US military still teaches the difference between a lawful and unlawful order.

            Just following orders doesn’t work in the US military.

            Now … whether the people who end up in the military are willing and capable and able to differentiate is a different story

      That’s really wishful thinking. I think America has already shown it has no heart. Just because we are indoctrinated young to believe a heros image of certain professions doesn’t mean they are that. I wonder what the percentage is of naive people that are just doing what they are told, good people that actual have heart and care, and people that join these forces for their own power and agenda are. I think the naive and heartless might be dominating. I feel bad for the people that still think they are living, or in this case working, for humanity.

        In my experience, people in search of power don’t generally enlist, they get a commission as an officer. That’s definitely not awesome, but I think it’s overall better than you’re making it out to be.
