Any soldier who is given an illegal order is bound by the UCMJ to not follow the order and report the person giving the order. A soldier who doesn't isn't a soldier, they are a craven idiot. The nazis tried the "we were just following orders" bit in Nuremburg, and all it got them was the gallows. I have a very, very hard time believing that a military intelligence unit ordered them to take those actions, especially when a military intelligence unit would not have allowed pictures even IF they did order it. All soldiers are given training on EPW handling prior to deployment, as well as classes on the UCMJ (uniform code of Military Justice), the Law of Land Warfare, and rules for use of force. Those aren't soldiers, those are animals soiling my uniform.
