1. Live and let live. Stand up for the rights and beliefs of others.
2. Everyone must believe what I believe, and if they don't, I will do everything I can to force them to follow my way of thinking.
Don't be a #2.

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
