AFP: Marine tells of order to execute Haditha women and children

AFP: Marine tells of order to execute Haditha women and children

In boot camp you are instructed on what makes for a "lawful command". This marine had a choice and made the conscience decision to shoot a room full of women and children.

The individual can choose to disobey a "lawful order" when that order goes against what the person knows is not the right thing to do. Murdering civilians is NOT a right thing to do. In this case the order to kill innocent civilians is an "UNlawful order".

Interpret as you will.
