"Maimed for a lie" is anti-soldier? What kind of twisted logic is that?

This war is illegal, and soldiers have an obligation to defy illegal orders. They have been duped, but ignorance is no excuse for any other crime.
How can a war be illegal? War is what you do when you can't settle your dispute any legal way. War is the complete breakdown of civility and law. If you are to the point where you will shoot someone, you are past the point of law.

I'm not saying the war is good, but I don't think "illegal" is an accurate description.
