Haven`t you people heard about conscientious objectors?

This talk about his duty as a police officer and his obligation to follow orders is cheap talk especially coming from some of the American talkbackers.

A US court just stripped an American citizen of his citizenship because he served as a guard at a Nazi concentration camp more than 50 years ago.

A guard, who was following orders, and who the court admitted took no part in killing anyone.

So, what do people on this forum think is more important? Following orders or following your conscience?

The man felt uncomfortable about his assignment and asked to be relieved of it. His request was granted. He did not do this in the middle of an attack and his action did not endanger anyone`s life.

Put yourself in his shoes and be honest about how you would have acted. But please be honest!
