U.S. senators telling troops they don’t have to obey illegal commands has sparked ire from President Donald Trump, underscoring the enduring principle that soldiers must follow conscience and the law above orders. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/07/duty-to-disobey-unlawful-orders/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #us #donaldtrump #markkelly #petehegseth #clausvonstauffenberg #mylai #uniformcodeofmilitaryjustice #nuremberg #internationalcriminalcourt #thehague #germany #france #britain #israel #vietnam
Hey Siri, how do you camouflage throwing a navy admiral under the bus as heartfelt praise?
Although it doesn't point out/to an innocent, not only considering the sworn oath to the constitution.
Every (war) crime has someone to order and someone to follow an illegal order. #Nuremberg

"Nuremberg trial records made available online after painstaking 25-year project
Launch of digitisation project marks 80th anniversary of start of legal effort to bring Nazi leaders to justice
A fully digitised collection of the records of the Nuremberg trials is being launched online to mark the 80th anniversary of the start of the groundbreaking legal effort to bring Nazi leaders to justice.
Open access to every official document from the trial, held by the Harvard law school library, will be available to all researchers, whether amateur or professional, for the first time from Thursday after a 25-year endeavour by a 30-strong team of historians, metadata curators and librarians.
It began in 1998 with the removal of staples and paperclips from the delicate documents so they could be scanned."

"Search thousands of historical documents from the Nuremberg trials.
Examine trial transcripts, briefs, document books, evidence files, and other papers from the trials of military and political leaders of Nazi Germany."

I just learned #nuremberg has a #queer action plan (as only city in Bavaria). I also learned there is a small monument for all the gay people deported and executed in nazi-germany. And sadly, it is vandalised regularly with Nazi symbols being smeared on or flowers destroyed.
Oh, and in case you did not know: there is a rainbow bench and crosswalk. Both often vandalised and a reason the conservative major gets death threats regularly. He also gets them for taking part in the #csd parade.
