Y9u are specifically declaring the war is illegal.

In Huet-Vaughn's case she said that the fact that Congress did not declare war meant that the U.S. was waging an illegal conflict, constituting crimes against humanity. Watada argued much the same. Was it the responsibility of the government to satisfy these officer's doubts and prove that the war was indeed legal before requiring them to follow the orders given them in the same manner that Lakin expects Obama to show proof of eligibility before following his orders?

Don’t want to get into the case, as I said before.

The government found in Huet-Vaughan’s case that they did not have to have her permission to wage war against Iraq and further that they were not required to ask her permission before requiring her to participate. They will follow a similar line of reasoning in this case. The charges were about the same I think.

The transition from Officer to Prisoner was a bit of a shock, I am told. Some say that she can still be heard yelping down where the old disciplinary barracks stood.
