This has the potential with a good start. It's a bit short and your list only has one name. If you wanted, you could give a list with a little bio or story about what they did or refused to do and not include your names.

Has the beginnings of a good political piece. I would look forward to see what you could come up with.

I've got nothing against what you are saying. I agree with a great part of me.

however; "well here isa alist of soldiers who wont didnt just obey" there are so many typos and grammatic mistakes.. am i missing the joke?

That's right. Not everyone followed in the beginning, and even fewer are following now. His "moral obligation to analyze." I like that.
