That's like the ultimate pedantic nerd troll. Sure that's technically true that they themselves didn't do it but there's a key phrase a "responsible for" that is always implied when you indicate those leaders killed millions.
Unfortunately we communicate in sound bites and so this is the kind of statement you get from tweet length messages. I think there is a valuable discussion to be had on how people in the public sector enable the policies of leaders. In the military you are not to follow an illegal order. You are expected to be able to make that determination. This kind of discussion is better done in an essay form rather than a short one line message. So much gets lost in a short message around a complex topic but this is the world we have today.

- timeon 2y agoIt is not just short format. Unlike that tweet, you are trying to argue in a good faith.
