Each person has an individual responsibility to determine if his actions are moral, and
no government or army may ever take that responsibility away.

This war shows a large inconsistency, with regard to morality. In
1945, the Nuremberg trials declared that "I was only following orders"
was not an adequate defense for immoral actions. Then, when soldiers
refused to be deployed to Iraq because of moral objections, believing
in their right to do so based on the results of the Nuremberg trials,
the result was "soldiers are not expected to make their own moral
decisions unless their orders directly conflict with the Geneva
Conventions." In other words "we have moral standards when it suits
us".
