[Non-Sequitur]

From the New press release printed above: "If you are a Member of Congress, or are represented there, it means that the Executive Branch may now send our soldiers into war, (under the UN), without bothering with little inconveniences like getting a Congressional Declaration of War."

What if a soldier in Iraq says that ordering him there is illegal because there never was a formal declaration of war? Are you going to be so quick to jump to his defense and allow him to decide what is a lawful order and what is not? Or are you going to depend on the military brass to make that decision?

I would serve my country and obey the lawful orders of my superiors.
I would not serve under a foreign country and its leadership since I am not a citizen of that country.

This is the crux of the debate. Can a US citizen be compelled to be under the leadership of a foreign government?
