one of the soldiers who have been in my one. 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 fire fighting creating social distress because they had gone through so many years to have gone through the entire military careers without having any time some experience and in order for them to have the experience the background they need to get their promotions and to make. this one general perhaps i mean this

combat experience. is very helpful. they don't really care who you are all they care about is that we go there and we get into firefights so they can get their medals so they can get their promotion so they can get their purple hearts. a little built.

knew at the time that the palestinians could govern themselves to a certain extent. that they should 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 and 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 shelled and then the government issued the order to open fire on the demonstrators. in we look for that if i said no i can't open fire a lot i didn't have the capacity to break up

a demonstration the goodlatte had no tear gas no shields no rubber bullet. it's with the us i 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 i don't want to be a war criminal. he was doing as if so i was reprimanded and demoted them.

it to you on the one sunday i was in the government building if you want it and i received a phone call from the second in command we go on 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 commune in a moment thinking to be when i came in the room because i saw a general in combat uniform going on butterwick in our glasses whiskey in one hand . previously and a machine gun on the other hand what if you introduced myself and said general there is nothing to report in the area yes me what does that mean nothing to report feeling i'm any political prisoners seen how many detainees are there. but also i insisted nothing to report general. wants and what commander don't you know we

are at war he asked me. he like 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 then he informed me that the military in jungle had to sign and that i should report to army headquarters and relinquish my command it went in to get him.

we're going to have to start here let me just professor jules folke l l o l is a full professor of international law at university it's for he's also the vice president of the center for us to show right thing always gets forgotten here midnight exhausted letters of the judges not the life i want to just start this fall what would testify today. the underlying issue this case is really whether the united states government will comply with its international obligations treaty obligations and international law. and they have

for i would have testified that sought to make his absence from his unit was authorized under international under the treaties which we have signed and under the president which we are so that half the world what so. at the nuremberg tribunals which the united states government was the chief prosecutor of decided that a soldier or a command or citizen has obligations under international law then are higher than their duty to obey the best aquash superior orders even. can not be considered in mitigation where crimes as shocking and extensive has been committed consciously ruthlessly understanding military excuse or justification. and that set the basic precedent that a soldier what this obey. an order that is the legal. 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.

good morning every one of us receive you're here in the newsroom is attorney say he's a good squad leader who took care of his men but the government says he left them behind when they needed in the most those are the opening arguments in the court martial of florida national guard soldier. he is accused of deserving is unit well on a two week furlough from iraq last fall if convicted he faces a year in prison and of this article discharge. the. military court has reached a decision. very serene. he says he stands by his action it's. the latest news from fort stewart georgia.

is terrible is that the men who gave the orders not. the responsibility of the commanding officer. tire responsibility for the entire fall to their subordinates. one cannot delegate the command responsibility. response ability i can delegate authority to my second in command my responsibility under no circumstances. i was willing. and i'm still willing to defend my home. to defend my country. but i am not willing and i will never be willing. to conquer.

another nation. i think about the real price. that was paid for this war at. the time and not only by american and allied troops. but also by the families of the soldiers who suffered a great deal. and mainly by iraqi embassy attack that and who are oppressed now and who are paying dearly. i think what i am doing now where even if it costs me a few years in prison is a small price to pay and even if i go to prison for this i will be free. i will have been free enough to make the right decision that i will feel that despite the

contract i signed to become a soldier i gave myself the freedom to make the right decision.

the question is that so much i'm afraid we're going to make a lot of people a lot but what is it the world's most important international body or a dysfunctional club in oregon especially the united nations is often criticized.
