How can we blame US service members that engaged in #Jan6 - when they were fed angry ranting lies from the #FatOrangeSlug - from #FauxNews playing 24/7 on military bases?
Who is responsible? IMO there is enough blame to go around and it is past time to change the channels!

Reminder that Fox News is allowed to be played in common areas of our military bases, polluting the minds of our soldiers and military leaders don't seem to give a shit about constant propaganda against the C&C

I didn't express this very well. Punishing those that believed the lies, while ignoring the lies that are still, today, being spewed on our military bases and while NOT doing anything about those responsible is not acceptable.

No, they are not less legally culpable because they fell for propaganda.

This is settled international and US law. Nazi soldiers tried the defense that they were "just following orders" and the world said, "doesn't matter."

Legal and moral culpability is not a pie -- if one person has more legal culpability, another must have less.

They both expand to encompass all of the actors and their wrongdoings.

Sure, there are mitigating circumstances, but buying into propaganda as a functioning adult is not one.
