Sept. 5, 1969: Murder charges in My Lai massacre

[Private Pickle]

Sorry, I thought you meant they were actually obligated. Never mind.

The US Soldier’s Manual (1984) tells soldiers:
You must report crimes immediately through your chain of command. If the crime involves your immediate superiors, report to their superior. You may also report violations of the laws of war to the inspector general, provost marshal, chaplain, or judge advocate. In any case, the law requires that you report actual or suspected violations immediately so that evidence will not be misplaced or disappear.

This has nothing to do with leaking anything to the public and, as I said, they are to report to their superiors. Their obligation is then satisfied.

It's also dated 1984 but the manual from 1956 isn't relevant either.

They did that... Their obligation transcends just reporting it...

Nothing has changed with regards to the responsibility to report a crime...

Then their obligation was satisfied as per your source.

Reporting the crime satisfies their obligation. Again, there is nothing here about revealing anything to the public.

[Private Pickle]

Yup. It's you who seems to have an issue with that.

It doesn't say you can't either...

[Mister D]

Yup. It's you who seems to have an issue with that.

I do? Again, there is nothing about leaking anything to the public. We've dealt with and dismissed your sources as irrelevant to that question. Are you going to go into bad faith mode?
