So the troops are unwitting dupes? That's really supportive. The whole "it was an order" thing went out with the Nuremburg trials.
Or maybe the troops don't know any better? Give me a break.
How many regular GIs serving in Iraq are experts in geopolitics and international law? Your unwitting dupes/Nuremburg references are off tack, unless you are now feeling that the war crimes status of this administration's officials are in the league of Hitler's henchmen in WW2. Even I wouldn't go *quite* that far
Are you recommending that the troops question, analyse or defy the orders coming down the chain of command? That's courtmartial territory. When people join the services they know what's expected of them.
