Thats a matter of opinion. It depends on if you think it was the fault of the soldier who pulled the trigger, the officer who gave the order, or the person who had the idea in the first place and decided to follow through with it. In general, all those involved in committing a crime are guilty. The fact that a person was acting under orders doesn't excuse the action. Let's take something less emotive than killing. Consider soldiers robbing a bank under orders in enemy territory. I would have thought all involved were guilty.
