Every human being would know what was crossing the line. You don't need any military training to get a sense of what is right and what is wrong.

For Rumsfeld to now be responsible for some overzealous 20 year old who went off and did something wrong just seems like a bit of injustice to me.

That's the way of the chain of command. You don't bear the immediate risk of your decisions, that's the job of your subordinates (and their body armor), but in turn, you're responsible for their actions. If someone doesn't like that, he should stay at the bottom.
