How is the legality of the war in question? Our military answers ONLY to the U.S. Government. There was NO part in this war which was handled illegally. "But Seaver, Bush lied!" NO, for the last time there was no lies. It was false information, false information that we had believed true LONG before Bush took office. There were no lies, say it again, there were no lies. If every single Democratic leader, who now claims they were given false information, prior to the 2000 election gave fire and brimstone speaches about Saddam's WMD programs then we can be pretty sure that said information was believed long before this "Republican Conspiracy."
Our military does not answer to foreign powers unless specifically ordered to BY THE U.S. Military OR GOVERNMENT. So why does it matter to the military if a war is deemed illegal by the UN? The UN has no power over the US military which the US military does not allow them to have. So what legality is he arguing about? That's like arguing Canadian Law in the US as a defense, it holds no water.
And no, I don't know exactly why he joined, but it's a damn good guess. You say he wanted to join the fight in Afghanistan. Well guess what, you don't have much of a say in the Military and if you could say when and where you went to war it would have horrid consequences. We are in a war, he joined the military in a time of war and then said he did not want to go to war. Guess what, you signed the dotted line you go when and where they tell you.
Defend all you want about who told him want and where he was going to go. Unless he can provide documentation it's hearsay, and if he CAN provide documentation it still is negligible because guess what? He joined the military in a time of war and then claimed he didn't want to fight.
