President bushs assumptions and goals about our military are quite different and opposed to Obamas.

You’re careful to avoid that fact. Obama condones our military joining the Taliban.

Obama supported massive cuts to our military.

Keep trying not to blame Obama.

It’s obviously your first priority.

Well, that answers that question. You’re not bothered that innocent people were killed when soldiers chose to obey an immoral order. You’re trying to distract from that order.

Well, I suppose a good German had to do the same thing. It couldn’t be *their* sons executing innocent people.

Obama wasn’t in the cockpit. Every man is accountable for his own sins. Obama is accountable for his, and the men in the cockpit now have to live with the knowledge that they deliberately bombed a hospital.

Regrettably, that’s knowledge they wouldn’t have to live with had they “dishonorably” refused an order to bomb innocents.

Newsflash: no dictator has ever been able to order others to the innocent without individuals willing to cast off personal responsibility for the murders they commit.

“Just following orders” hasn’t been a viable excuse for a long time.
