No I'm not. You ignored what I said and added in your strawman. "Just obeying orders" is the same logic regardless of the level of the bad deed. I am objectively correct on this.
You basically say there are only certain ways of opposing wrong doing. It isn't unconstitutional to refuse to teach CRT. It isn't legal in criminal sense. It is insubordination of a thing that shouldn't be taught as you say. The Right has been losing in the US for 110 years because your attitude. It will end in lots of destruction.
Oh yeah? How about you explain why it's not. Explain how "just obeying orders" didn't lead to the US military teaching racist essentialism and introducing the destructive idea.
Sure. Why not? People have to make their own decisions on these things. They have to weigh the cost to themselves and how important the issue is to them. But I would never say a person should do something they think is seriously immoral just because someone else told them to. Maybe those in charge should do a better job of aligning their orders to military strategy and just war types of ideas. Your just arguing for mindless slaughter.
Hm. If soldiers refuse to fight the war they can't win. But that isn't the issue I am discussing. The reality is that 99% of the time this isn't an issue. People who go into the military aren't disposed against fighting a war. They see the point. The commanders put together a good strategy and tactic. They get soldier buy in, and they go do the thing.
I get it. You can't have soldiers carrying out only half of their orders. Organizationally it doesn't work. That is true for any organization. That is why leaders have to have moral clarity. Get buy in. Receive feedback and even pushback in a constructive way. Change your plans. Allow tactical flexibility. Most people will be willing to compromise their morals a bit in a war time situation. Most people are willing to do something they were told to do by someone in authority even if wouldn't do it normally. I see CRT as serious enough to say no to. You don't. That is the only difference here. In your weighing it isn't worth disobedience. In mine it is.
But yes if soldiers refused to perform the fire bombings of Dresden, the world is a better place and Nazis still lose. I personally talked to a Vietnamese veteran who was in the South Vietnamese army. He was told to rape women because that is how war is waged. You just terrorized the populace. Of course he said he would never rape a women now. But to them that was war. If he hadn't raped those women how could he ever have fought the Viet Cong? If he had refused, the South Vietnamese would still have lost the war. He would still be a refugee in the US. But he wouldn't have been a rapist at least.
If we every become a Communist country, and we are in the middle of a type of color revolution. People will wonder how it ever could have happened to the US. The answer will be that people did as they were told by Communists. They didn't think the issue was so bad. They didn't want to stick their neck out and get criticized. But they will be responsible for the fall of the country into Communism. In the US it won't look like Soviet Communism. It will be a complicated mix of socialist capitalist corporations working with government agencies to steer us towards government/corporate control of everything. If only someone would have took a stand and said to themselves, "this is wrong. I am not going to do it."
I can't work with you on this or seriously discuss it with you. If the military actually worked the way you think it should work (where troops obey orders and disobey orders based on their personal opinions of morality) we would have lost every war in the history of the country. We wouldn't have been around to fight the Nazis or anyone else. Might be a good thing. Maybe we'd be part of Mexico and therefore too broke to care about woke causes.
