Following Orders
The Nuremberg trials sorted out that following orders is not a valid excuse for why the Nazis carried out atrocities during WW2. It’s not shocking that a military state would treat vulnerable people that way, it’s shocking that each person involved in separating the families, detaining them, putting them in court is complicit in such an inhuman system. Not one had the guts to tell their superiors to get fucked when they realised what they had to do.
