Lol, winning hearts and minds by protecting child rapists

Average soldier wanted to deal with that. It was high command keeping that shit going because they wanted to keep tribal leaders happy.

That's even worse? Your senior officers are supposed to be the ones doing the right thing.

No no you see the rank and file totally wanted to stop all that child SA, but alas they simply had to follow orders

"Just following orders" I say at my trial, confident no one has used this argument before

Lmao, how can you justify this shit? Do you really think American was actually trying to win hearts and minds when even you admit high command was protecting child rapists?
