    The generals' duty is to inform him BEFORE obeying, not to obey without a word. Then their MORAL not legal duty is to consider refusing.

        Is their moral duty the same as what your or I would consider our moral duty to be?

        And the moral considerations have to be made in advance, not in the heat of battle

        Am I coming in on the middle of a conversation? Who is the 'him' you're referring to?

        Agree re: possible moral duty to disobey, though if the order is legal they'd have to defend themselves in court-martial w/ big sentences.

        It would be akin to another Chelsea Manning legal procedure w/ large parts of the public on the side of the defendant.

        If all the soldiers refused to fight. Sadly, nationalism rules the day with many.

        @RubinReport wise words to think about Rubino. You should have Dennett on your show.

        Daniel, you have become an embarrassment to us, atheists, now. We are supposed to be the voice of reason, but you argue emotions now.
