<<I don't blame the officer for following the orders of his superiors when he is told to take the shot. But I do blame him for not having the fortitude to question the Rules of Engagement in the first place.<<

So, as a National Guardsman you would follow orders and fire on Americans no matter what the situation?

YOU would commit murder and exonerate yourself by saying you are just following orders?

SCARY........

<<Btw, Horiuchi did what he was told to do. He did not make up the rules of engagement on Ruby Ridge. Potts and his buddies did. >>

Is this not the same thing that damned many Nazis during trials at end of WW II? "Following orders" is a poor reason for murder.
Also it should be noted that Weaver was never tied to the jerks in the Aryan nations,
