Nope, because the defense that I was just following orders has been killed off Soldiers have a right to object to orders and even refuse deployment, however they have to have a fairly valid reason for it, the key ones being religion based.
However there is no draft, and soldiers volunteer, and its likely that most combat soldier's are going to go to Iraq, so if you have a problem with the war you simply don't join.
There are a lot of men and woman over there that believe they are doing the right thing by being there, does that make them immoral?
