If someone did a horrific thing and then told me they werenโt as guilty as their boss Iโd be fairly confident saying that if their first priority was to justify their actions then they can also get absolutely fucked.
But not every soldiers' first priority are justifying their actions. Please note that the title of this post is insinuating that all veterans are to blame, not some or even the majority of them. Also note the title omits the bosses, the people who gave the orders.That is why I replied. We would only disagree if you'd believe the boss isn't guilty because he didn't do the execution of his plans.
