    What the fuck are you talking about? Can you read? That’s not what their comment says. Their comment says that, if we can (call to) hold the soldiers accountable, then surely we can (call to) hold the elected leaders who sent them accountable.

    It isn’t saying the soldiers are innocent. It’s saying the soldiers are less responsible than the leaders giving the orders. They should be the first priority, yet they’re protected instead.

    It’s saying that if we can hold the Nazi prison guards accountable, surely we should hold Hitler accountable too.
