Soldiers of Conscience – trailer

JourneymanVOD on Apr 10, 2012

To kill or not to kill? Soldiers of Conscience is a powerful and balanced look at the choice a soldier makes when he finally must pull the trigger. In fact its clear all soldiers wrestle with the morality of killing in war. Its a split-second decision in the heat of combat that can never be forgotten or undone. A rare documentary; full of action and clever at the same time! Recently broadcast to acclaim on PBS.

After World War II, a US Army study revealed that three quarters of combat soldiers given the chance to fire on the enemy failed to do so. Despite training, the average individual has such an inner resistance toward killing a fellow man that he will not take a life if it is possible not to.

  14. All soldiers in western countries are mercenaries, they choose to be murderers and most admit to killing children, women, old men and youngsters for fun.

    • Very good point, maha. The soldiers certainly aren’t defending the country while stationed in Iraq, Afghanistan, and all the other countries where the US has military bases. They are defending the business interests of capitalists.
