...not so.

Not so? what are you saying? Its OK to use our soldiers for internal American political purposes, because we warned Iraqi soldiers (as we do ours during training) that as soldiers, they will be held accountable for illegal orders given and illegal orders followed. The two are unrelated. Do you have any idea of what you are talking about?

This is really tiresome. We have an all volunteer army. Those who enlist have indicated that they will do as the commander in chief directs without qualification. His decision has already been affirmed by the members of the military even before there was anything to decide. This does not make them mindless or robots. Soldiers have agreed to execute any war and any other action even before there is such. They support the war. Bush supports the war. Anti-American leftists are using flawed but pc logic when they try to separate the willingness of the warrior from their resistance to it. I am anti-abortion but I support a woman's right to have one. Nonsense.
