I am not saying they weren't military, I am saying the storm troopers didn't have a choice not to be military, therefore they are more innocent, than, say leaders like Palpatine and Tarkin.

Sure storm troopers committed terrible acts, but not all of them. And did you ever see a storm trooper defect? Did you ever see one decline orders? This was the only existence they were aware of and conscious of? Do you think they got both sides of the story on Alderaan and the Rebel Alliance?

I wouldn't say that. I would say that, like much of the world at the time of WWII, they were fed propaganda and worked off of that.

And you accuse me of spinning? Let's go by the canon that was established in Episodes 1, 2, and 3, that may change canon from non-movie titles.
