U.S. military archbishop doubts Iran war meets just war standard, urges obedience

Archbishop Timothy Broglio said the U.S.-Israel war on Iran likely fails just war standards, even as he stressed that rank-and-file troops are generally bound to follow orders unless they are “clearly immoral.”

Average troops must look at the chain of command when dealing with the question of a “just war,” according to Broglio, who serves as the archbishop for the U.S. military, in an interview with Face the Nation on CBS, while also saying he didn’t think the conflict in Iran satisfied the need for war.
