The Unthinking Majority

Knowing the fact that the soldiers going to war to fight for democracy never have a mind of their own. These soldiers only do what they are told to do, and when they don't follow orders, they get punished.
Sometimes soldiers are assigned to kill all exsisting hostiles within an area, making all the higher ranked corporals, lieutenants,CO's, etc. sure that no existing life can carry information to the enemy. But when this enemy happens to be a non-hostile being forced to retreive and send information, these soldiers still attack. I know for a fact that at least one soldier will do the right thing and wont attack, but as a consequence he shall be punsihed for doing so. I call these few soldiers the "Unthinking Majority" because they actually think outside of the box and think about how their services are affecting their mission and if it is a negative one.
