A Soldiers Forgiveness

In the case of the soldier who followed his commanders orders and kills an unarmed mother and child, the soldier committed a terrible crime. He or she, did not use there moral senses or code of ethics in the situation. Even if the commander said  he/she was going to kill me if I didn't kill the mother and child. I would think of my family. I would rather be dead or in jail than alive with the burden of knowing I killed innocent people.

  2. I agree with your thinking but the commander could know or realize something about the mother and child before you do that could threaten you and everyone around you. So in my mind it is right and wrong in the same sense.
