1. Being a Veteran,I would say yes
Many people here only wish to hold the leadership responsible, and are willing to give the troops a free pass. I say we are all taught right from wrong, and going to basic training does not make a mindless robot out of anyone, unless it's what they want to become.

If you follow without question, if you cannot or just refuse to see the hypocrisy of the term "fighting for our freedom" when the Patriot Act, the NSA spying, and a president being able to name anyone an enemy combatant has destroyed those "freedoms", then maybe your not a war criminal, maybe your just stupid!!!!!

"The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who do nothing...." Albert Einstein

"Individuals have international duties which transcend the national obligation of obedience...Thereforehave the duty to violate domestic laws to prevent crimes against peace and humanity from occuring.":The Nuremberg Tribunal 1945-1946
