"Our soldiers are to use their judgement and knowledge in carrying out U.S. military policy. If they are nothing more than tools, then for example they would have to obey illegal orders and not be held responsible for it." Your illogic makes no sense. Hammers can't drill, and OUR soldiers are specifically prohibited from carrying out illegal orders. I know of General Anthony Zinni. He and I have the same opinion of Iraq. In my mind, YOUR grunt counts a LOT less than him. Why don't YOU enlist? They're taking men up to the age of forty-eight now. YOU think it's a good idea. Maybe after Intel lays you off?

By the way, I know that soldier personally. He's an officer, and he graduated from West Point. I think his opinion should matter more than, say, Maureen Dowd's. Or the opinion of some dissenting grunt you happened to find on Google. If that is the important criterion, I will be glad to give you names of officers who oppose the war. In fact, as I type, one is in court for AWOL. Others are running for office. I will be glad to give you their names upon request.
