I thought there were some treaties kicking around where it is explicitly stated that unprovoked wars of aggression are in themselves crimes against humanity, or some such pap. If this is the case, would not accepting deployment in such an action be immoral and criminal?

Such is the argument of the Bush-haters and those who wish to see the destruction of all that is America and I sometimes find it difficult to parry these assaults with more than "It was not unprovoked". Though a simple Truth, the haters continue to lay down a barrage of irrelevancies; ignoring the fact that the president, by definition, cannot "break the law" while pursuing his constitutional duty to protect the Homeland.

Though I do not advocate it for myself and clearly understand the position of so many of my political brethren to rather serve the Nation in ways more suitable to their abilities and position, once one signs up for the military, one should assume a "life long" commitment to follow the Commander-in-Chief wherever he should order.
