In regards to your first point....
Is a soldure at the end of a gun responsible for carrying out his orders? Does the weight of the entire army, whatever army that be, lay in the hands of an individual? The Corperal who tells the private, the general who tells the corperal, the politition that tells the general or the public that votes in the politition ?

I was just following orders
isn't a legal justification for war crimes.

No, but it can be used to justify the killing of accidental-innocents.

Accidentally killing civillians isn't a war crime
deliberatly targeting them is.

You'd still feel gutted if you found out that happened to you though.
gutted is probably an understatement.

What I mean is, you found out, after the act, that they were innocent and people above you knew that.
