Dear Military: Obey the Nuremberg Principles.

Dr. Bob Bowman, Democratic Congressional Candidate for Florida's 15th, is not one of the stars of the Democratic Party's 2006 congressional run... and that's a shame. He tells it like it is, and he's got something to say to those military personnel who happen to be in the nuclear chain of command;

"...according to the Nuremberg Principles, which we wrote... which are enshrined in the Uniform Code of Military Justice, every person in the military must obey the Nuremberg Principles... according to those Principles, we in the military not only have the right, but the duty, to refuse an illegal order... and what I'm saying is, those guys up there in the nuclear chain of command, if they get an order to nuke Iran, they must not only refuse to carry out that order, they must arrest who gave them the order as a war criminal." - Dr. Bob Bowman, Oct. 3, 2006*

Now that's gutsy!

2. can't find a reference

to the nuremburg principles in the ucmj, article 92 is kinda clear on the topic of obeying a lawful order.

guess the best a guy can do is choose to obey or disobey and then take the consequences but i doubt that anyone with the ability or responsibility to turn the key isn't going to be the kind of person that questions the order

3. Sick and sad.

But you're exactly right.

The Milgram experiments come to mind.

Still afraid of that :tinfoilhat: label? Tsk, home of the brave, not so much anymore.

6. I don't know. I'm going to give him some moh-ney.

Just a wee bit.

Did I mention that the next district over is Foley-ville and the local R's are freaking out? Just a rumor.

Heh.
