Without their guns they become mere mortals.

We have to empathize with them.

Soldiers and policemen are trained to take orders from higher authorities without asking questions. In all countries.

While there are generally conscientious objectors, they constitute a handful.

Those Ukrainian guys in the photos were only doing their duty.

I have to agree. A soldier and policeman only follow orders.

They commit no sin for following orders and must be forgiven. 

Bhai, me ah Kshatriya, yuh know. Me know how de ting wuk.

My forbears in India were Singhs serving in the soldiering caste. Truthfully.

Orders to knowingly commit a criminal act is not excusable under the law. Protesters were sniped to the head. Someone has to pay. These may not be at fault but someone is. Lots of people died in this manner.

The howard grad is partly correct. However the strength of an armed force comes from not questioning authority. 

Read the US army regs...all orders pertain to lawful orders. Indeed one obeys instinctively but is one is told to snipe a civilian one immediately is aware it is criminal.

Dude why you keep demeaning Howard grads, i know many of them who are leaders in their feild that graduated from Howard in the feild of medicine such graduates pharmacist doctors engineers so on as a matter of fact one of the country leading cardioligst from Guyana is a Grad from Howard school of medicine and even the lowest grade gradute from Howard have more sense in their feeses than you in your head. 

Don't kill the messenger, look for yourself at its ratings and realize that it is a glorified high school, at least according to Rev.

Look at how you turned out.
