describe leader. his squad was cleared in. two abuses that were violations of international law. you know they were they were stationed out at the international airport. they were handing detainees but what comes in is three sheen your man who had no dinner if it kate have. only code names and they do the actual interrogation. but they order. these young soldiers around on how you handle the detainees when the actual impaired geisha isn't going on. and they were ordered to deprive them of sleep. in forty eight hours. keep them blindfolded.

jerk them around make them stand make noise. take your weapon to defuse may shoot the person right in the head at that time. he thought he had a duty to stay out of that. activity. is a violation of international law. that's what you want a soldier to do. more if you want to be a democratic society than a blind obedience to authority. and you see that an order is illegal and you're being ordered to commit a crime don't do it. yet they make the prosecution here is that a light sentence or make it will encourage other immigrant soldiers to desert the defense argues. had the right to obey his own conscience it rather than orders from his commanding officer a ten person jury will hear testimony tomorrow from fort stewart georgia. univision . i.

one of the soldiers who have been. told his mother. mom i don't feel like my life belongs to me. why did you move me so much to the soldier said that he did because i failed the same way when i was there. because we were told to go on missions that we knew were not for the benefit of anyone other than the officers who were given such orders to go into such missions because we knew that there were officers there were pretty much

instigating firefights and creating social distress because they had gone through so many years to have gone through entire military careers without having any type of experience and in order for them to have the experience the background they need to get their promotions and to make. general perhaps have been scum but experience . is very helpful. but. they don't really care who you are all they care about is that we go there and don't we get into firefights so they can get their medals so they can get their

promotion so they can get their purple hearts. that it. was going. into so i think when i said it yeah but when you ask yourself why did all this happen you know why did all these people die. why did i allow myself to be put in a situation where i have to kill in order to survive. were.

able to be in the small in one thousand nine hundred seventy eight there was no palestinian national authority. but with cities had their own town councils knew at the time the palestinians could govern themselves to a certain extent. at the shoot one day. israel expelled the mayor of his brother. and the mayor of algeria to jordan. we must feel that the next day we were sent to patrol the city of heber. the but there was a huge demonstration to protest the expulsion of the two mayors and that would mean there were a lot of protesters they were throwing stones at every government installation they

saw whether military or civilian three. women shot then the government issued the order to open fire on the demonstrators. in the local for that if i said no i can't open fire a lot i didn't have the capacity to break up a demonstration we had no tear gas no shields no rubber bullet. it's with the you had nothing at all i said i'm a soldier a fighter. by fire my weapon it's to kill me with someone asked me are you refusing to obey an order shoot she i said yes i refuse because this order goes against my principles. no one can force me to kill if i don't want to do it illegally i don't want to be a war criminal. he was doing as if so i was reprimanded and demoted.

it. one sunday i was in the government building if you want it and i received a phone call from the second in command because he said commander general i really annoys here to seal. that will because i told him i would be right there and immediately went to the barrel of a mean in a moment think it will be when i came in the room because i saw a general in combat uniform buffet work in our glasses whiskey in one hand.

and a machine gun on the other hand what if you i introduced myself and said general there is nothing to report in the area yes me what does that mean nothing to report that feeling how many political prisoners she knew how many detainees are there. but also i insisted nothing to report in general. but commander don't you know we are at war he asked me. i couldn't help myself and i said both of them did he want war are you talking about generally case when i mean i know it's possible to declare war against neighboring countries but not against our own countrymen. went in with. very well he said you're dismissed wait in the next room but it may be then midwest most senior officers in my unit and with his staff. and

extensive has been committed consciously ruthlessly and without a military excuse or justification. and that set the basic precedent that a soldier ought to this obey. an order that is a week old. and it would have been much better in the prison systems in iraq if more soul. it's had disobeyed it would have been better for our whole international image and our whole foreign policy and it's in the military's interest to promulgated such a rule even though most military people would say this has to be the key thing but this is a point at what cost if the cost is committing war crimes and discipline has to give way to the broader principle that military should operate on the wall.
