It's exactly what "just executing orders" means. So no, I do not care about people who are covering themselves witch such stupid phrase.

It's no different than killing in the name of some god.

🎵 Killing in the name of 🎵

Rages against the machine

It’s worse. At least someone the person killing for god believes it to be good. The soldier is knowingly committing evil for money.

I mean, the military service is mandatory right? Yeah you get paid, but you don't really have the option to not do it...

[-] surph_ninja@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago

Plenty of people refuse compulsory service. You just have to be willing to do the time.

People are downvoting, but I respect it. Civil disobedience is always an option, like you say, you just gotta be willing to go to jail for your beliefs.
