If you in the military and a higher rank tells you to kill the something.. Read!

If you in the military and the a higher rank tells you to kill the something for no reason, would you do it?

I would say "no" and "ask him why?" If he does goes against me, I would go against him period.

:roll:

1. He could be lieing.

2. He just wants to conquer and use you.

3. It's not cool at all.

4. He could be an enemy (Just like Die Hard, the part where the military guy got back stabbed)..

5. He just wants to destroy everything (I mean completely everything and even back stab you).

That's nice..Dark__Link

well would u?

I'd take the court marshal for insubordination. No matter how much anyone can respect a military hierarchy, they should put their own morality above it and never violate it.foxhound_fox

My problem with the military is that they have a way of breaking you down so you don't do that, which is why I'd never join the military.

If he can't supply me with a reason or official orders, then he's clearly not acting officially, and should be court marshalled for insubordination.

So, no.

Simply put, I seek to live by Romans 13:1-7. Basically, I will submit to my authorities unless I feel it is against what God would have me to do (I will not deny Christ for the sake of obeying authorities for example).

When you VOLUNTEER for the military I don't give a crap if your moral code doesn't match the military's. You joined so deal with it.gobo212

First of all this thread is dumb because a superior wouldn't tell you kill "for no reason" (and if they did they would be subject to discipline, not you). That being said If you are against killing why join the military in the first place?gobo212

I think that you should follow orders from a superior unless it really is wrong.

But then again, you should obay orders to kill because that is what you are paid for, to kill.

At this point he'd pull out his "knife" and "stab" me and I'd "Scream" in "pain."

Why should I make sense when the TC didn't?

Very true. But then again, I highly doubt the process for brainwashing new recruits is the same for those who apply through an officer program.foxhound_fox

what the hell I'd do it, whats the worst thing that could happen?solo-chaos

It depends... I may decide to ask why and carry out the order, or I might not ask why, but still carry out the order. If you are scared of harming something then you shouldn't be in the army.

Not sure about torturing. But then I have never smoked anything exotic, so it wouldn't have crossed my mind that a superior was going to make me kill a random something for the sake of world domination... somehow.

End of the day, it depends more on my rank. If I was a high rank myself, I probably would do it as long as I felt morally assured.

That goes against Military regulation.

It is an invalid order, so your scenario is impossible.

You not going against killing, but following bad orders will have consequences, say a terrorist took over like die hard, and you actually followed it. And after a while you relie you were fighting on the wrong side, what would you do?

Number 1 thing in live is to never be a robot.

Well I guess it depends on who the higher ranking person is.

I think that in the My Lai Massacre the captain who told everyone to kill the civilians was homicidal, so if you would have refused he would have shot you.

If that's the case it boils down to: Will I sacrifice myself for these people? (Who would probably be killed anyways) Or should I follow orders and have the guilt follow me for the rest of my life?
