The first thing you do when you join up is agree to serve the President of the United States. One should give thought to who is currently in office - and also who might be next.
The job of our armed forces is not to wage war, but instead to deter it merely but it's existance. It's a determent - No one country should wish to face off with the United States because of the power of it's military.
There recently was a case where a US Army Captain refuse to go Iraq because he claims the President lied to us. It really doesn't matter who lied to who; He signed up, took the oath, and agreed to serve at the pleasure of the President. There is no "clause" saying "If the President is wrong I don't have to go". That's chicken shit.
I wonder what I would have done if I was faced with such decisions.
