    I don’t know how widespread this is, but in the german army it is illegal to follow an order if you think it violates human rights. They specifically wanted to make a law against the “I was just following orders” excuse, you’re still guilty.

      I wouldn’t be surprise if it were only Germany, due to the whole cultural guilt around WWII…

      It doesn’t prevent them from attracting a lot of neonazi’s and giving minimal (to no) punishment to said neonazi’s. It also hasn’t prevented then from committing war crimes in Afghanistan.
