First, your friend as a member of the National Guard, has no say in where he goes or what he does. So long as his orders do not violate military law or the constitution, he has to obey.
So to call him out for that is unfair.

Which is why some people find joining a military organization to be morally impossible. Not quite the right words, but: by joining a military organization, you are agreeing to let someone else make decisions about morality for you. To some, this makes no sense: you are responsible for your actions, and their consequences, period.

Oh, and it's totally unreasonable for someone to question the actions of an organization that someone is merely a part of.
For instance, if I'm the president of a company then, yeah, accuse me of the actions my company does (although, even then, you may be surprised how little power I might have). But if I'm the janitor, what did I have to do with anything except belonging to the company?

Where you aware of the companies actions?
Did you continue to aid and be a part of the company, dispite this awareness?
Where you willfully ignorante of the companies actions?
