Art,

When I hear that a man is forced into an organization (Vietnam grunts were draftees), taught obedience and then ordered to commit horrible actions, I tend to put the blame for those acts on the organization, not the soldier.

Lt. Calley claimed that his commander gave him his orders....unsurprisingly, nothing ever came of it.
