I was only following orders.....

Is that what we will hear from the enforcers of the Trump policy regarding the concentration camps for kids ?
I'm sure there are some that are reluctant participants in these atrocities and I'm also sure there are many that could care less and may enjoy inflicting pain on children.
There will be a day of reckoning.and I hope it's soon.

2. The Nuremberg Defence

"I cannot recognize the verdict of guilty. . . . It was my misfortune to become entangled in these atrocities. But these misdeeds did not happen according to my wishes. It was not my wish to slay people. . . . Once again I would stress that I am guilty of having been obedient, having subordinated myself to my official duties and the obligations of war service and my oath of allegiance and my oath of office, and in addition, once the war started, there was also martial law. . . . I did not persecute Jews with avidity and passion. That is what the government did. . . . At that time obedience was demanded, just as in the future it will also be demanded of the subordinate."

3. If those

who were in charge of millions of those concentration camps were held and executed and incarcerated, those who are witnessing these crimes will pay.

4. No such thing as "reluctant participant" in situations like this.

You either have a moral code you live by or you don't. Period. Anyone who would value their paycheck over a child's life doesn't get to sugar coat it by saying they were a "reluctant participant".
