But it wasn't their call. Civil society has well established and agreed upon the fact that "just following orders" is not a defense. **no but disobeying them is a penalty. What if the on scene commander had ordered them to fight it anyway and one of the men was killed. He would have been liable for sending his men into a fire not in their jurisdiction...criminally liable. **yes, it does such that such matters exist. But to ignore they do not is foolish. -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot
