Thinking for no particular reason about the Letter that the O3 Trial Counsel wrote to Richard Nixon after he commuted Calley’s sentence. Anyway.

I will add to this the closing thoughts from US v Calley, which seem relevant today
![In the stress of combat, a member of the armed forces cannot reasonably be expected to make a refined legal judgment and be held criminally responsible if he guesses wrong on a question as to which there may be considerable disagreement. But there is no disagreement as to the illegality of the order to kill in this case. For 100 years, it has been a settled rule of American law that even in war the summary killing of an enemy, who has submitted to, and is under, effective physical control, is murder. Appellate defense counsel [...] say that Lieutenant Calley should not be held accountable for the men, women and children he killed because the court-martial could have found that he was a person of “commonest understanding” and such a person might not know what our law provides; that his captain had ordered him to kill these unarmed and submissive people and he only carried out that order as a good disciplined soldier should.
Whether Lieutenant Calley was the most ignorant person in the United States Army in Vietnam, or the most intelligent, he must be presumed to know that he could not kill the people involved here. [...]
Consequently, the decision of the Court of Military Review is affirmed. [...]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2k5tpqcon53d4rm4konbae2j/bafkreihaz6r2ufqzkv2efcz2f3errk7sgdlzqiqxniymimxqtivxwlyfvy@jpeg)
