      Are you comparing the waitress not proofreading the math on a preprinted receipt (arguably not their job) to soldiers actively committing war crimes?

        No. Soldiers are very much protected from such orders in most countries. They can’t be held responsible for refusing to follow an illegal order.

        I mostly hear the argument from civilians helping their employer commit crime.

          Have you ever heard of ICE?? They are committing out right kidnappings of citizens “under the orders” of a helmet haired toddler who shits his own pants… really? They clearly are upholding these illegal acts and do not care! They don’t even show their faces! SHAME!

          Plus also, Nazis in WWII went along with Hitler when they shouldn’t have for an example. Or putting Asian Americans into camps after the bombings due to fear they were ALL somehow involved!?
