US soldier refuses deployment to Iraq on grounds that the war is illegal

[Del Arroyo]

Being lured into signing-up for the military based on fraudulent lies by the government means he does not have to follow any order. Especially one to participate in an illegal war.

This is completely and utterly preposterous. If we could read a copy of his contract, I can guarantee you it would not contain anything even resembling an exemption from duty for political reasons.

He took an oath to uphold the US Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, period. And if he thinks that him going to Iraq will somehow violate the Constitution, he is simply wrong.

Again, it would be nice if someone could kindly define on exactly which grounds they confidently assume this war in Iraq to be "illegal". Because I have not been able to find any valid grounds so far. And public opinion is most surely irrelevant to any such definition.
