Crusaders and Jihadists: 2 faces of the same coin

What you obviously do not know is this: In modern armies a soldier is not unconditionally bound to orders (or the people who give them), but can reject orders if they are unlawful.

The army of "order and obey no matter what", like WWII Wehrmacht is a thing of the past.

Where did i get this from? When i was drafted into the german army i have been told this, by my superior officers.
In the fashion that is practiced today; it is. Armies became bigger, and soldiers became more of pawns than individuals with a decision. In the past soldiers were mostly composed of tribes and locals following their own local leader; and their leader follows the main army.
For example: a tribal warlord wants to invade a land. He immobilizes an alliance of other tribes each has their own tribal warlord.
The only similar force in the ancient world to our current armies is the Roman force. Romans were highly organized that's why they won for many years.
I didn't know you joined the army. But in the Middle East right now; soldiers with low ranks are like slaves to their superiors; and I know that worldwide; this is mostly the case with varying degrees.

Say, is the curernt heat wave over central europe also the jews fault?

"Zionism" does not mean "Jews".
Zionism is a political movement. Judaism is a religion.
