Would you defend german ally troops during the holocaust? No? Then maybe reflect.

i would prefer they shoot their commanding officer and then themselves! if that's not an option then deserting would be cool too, I guess.

Fragging is a proud American tradition which should be continued.

and then themselves

I have some empathy for those coerced into joining out of sincere ignorance (even though I believe they should know better). Eyes Left has an interesting example. The front lines radicalize some people into anti-imperialism, and if they have enough of a conscience to wake up and join the resistance, then I say have the potential to redeem themselves.
