 We still have the checks and balances built into us as ethical people and into the oath that the military swears. And when you're an officer, you go to class after class after class about if you're in the My Lai Massacre, as Cy Hersh exposed back in the 1960s that turned the tide in the late 60s, where the CIA was just kill 5,000 people, line them up, men, women, and children, machine gun them. The military didn't like that and blew the whistle because they thought it was wrong, and it was.
