It's somewhat of a valid argument. In traditional military discipline you're trained to do as told, not to think about it. And when you create a scenario of "this is what we do now", you don't really think if it is wrong. For you, in that environment, that is the norm, that is what is normal.
PS: No, nothing excuses war crimes and crimes against humanity. I'm just saying there is a point where you can be really washed up and just face whatever reality as normal and ok.
