"Just following orders" stems from a practice by tortures, murderers, gassers, rapists, experimenters, who said about what they did "Befehl Ist Befehl" (t***slation into english is "Just Followed Orders" ) by the german national-socialists, aka n**is!
It is also a very much used expression by those who were involved in throwing people out of planes alive (as if throwing dead people out of planes isn't bad and sick enough!) (under the Argentine Military Regime)....
As it was used by the military and police who attacked the people in the then Apartheid sate South Africa, as well as by those who were attacking protestors against the Black people in amongst others the south of America!
Claiming to be ordered to do atrocities and then be free of charges is absurd, and equal to what the warcriminals of the n**i-germans did!
