This logic is pretty dumb honestly. The elected officials who send soldiers to kill for them are far more culpable than the soldier who is drafted. Civilians with no power? Sure, maybe they shouldn’t be called on for being targeted. The people literally giving the orders though? In my opinion they’re, in effect, part of the military complex. They aren’t literally service members, but they are part of the chain that gives soldiers their orders.
