Try telling that to the soldiers who faced a court martial in N. Ireland for opening fire on possible IRA terrorists who drove straight through a checkpoint when challenged to stop. Or to the East German soldiers who were ordered to open fire on anyone trying to escape to the west. Or to a firing squad in WWI whose members had to shoot one of their comrades for 'cowardice' when they were suffering a nervous breakdown from the horrors they had endured.
