Imagine how surprised they will be that it works as well as Hitler telling his Nazis they'll be OK if they are ever tried for war crimes.

NOTE: On October 1, 1946, the verdicts on 22 of the original 24 defendants were handed down for the Nuremberg trials. Three of the defendants were acquitted. Four were convicted and sentenced to terms of imprisonment ranging from 10 to 20 years. Three were sentenced to life imprisonment. Twelve of the defendants were sentenced to death by hanging.

2nd Note: Twelve of the Nuremberg defendants were sentenced to death by hanging. Ten of them—Hans Frank, Wilhelm Frick, Julius Streicher, Alfred Rosenberg, Ernst Kaltenbrunner, Joachim von Ribbentrop, Fritz Sauckel, Alfred Jodl, Wilhelm Keitel, and Arthur Seyss-Inquart—were hanged on October 16, 1946. Martin Bormann was tried and condemned to death in absentia, and Hermann Göring committed suicide by swallowing a cyanide capsule before he could be executed.

it's murky at best. Military personnel often have to carry out orders with limited facts and little, if any, knowledge of intelligence assessments. So unless what they are being ordered to do is clearly and blatantly unreasonable and illegal at their level of knowledge, then IMO immunity makes sense.

This is a duplicate of the same news story posted earlier.
