Didn't certain German military personnel get sanctioned for "doing their job" after the war in trials all over policy and actions related to that policy? What about some of the Japanese after the war? Oh wait, what about the first first Desert Storm? What about things right now in the current Afghan and Iranian wars? Just following policy... just doin' the job. Sorry move along.
