The Defense Of Superior Orders
[ send me this paper ]
21 pages in length. Leadership bears its own consequence in that leaders must take full responsibility of detrimental aftermath in the wake of their orders. In most circumstances, leaders endow their subordinates with orders that do not necessarily compromise their integrity as human beings; however, in other situations the orders that are put upon the underlings are such that they go against the very grain of both God's law and the law of the land. It is under these particular conditions that the defense of superior orders comes into play, inasmuch as the subordinate can readily claim that he was merely doing his duty by following through with the order, no matter that such orders might mean the massacre of millions of innocent victims as in the Holocaust.
