I don't think the fact that along with the rest of the American public, the men and women in uniform were misled by the chickenhawks above them in any way takes away from their personal honor. Let's place the blame where it belongs--on the leadership--and leave the people who are bravely risking their lives alone.
If anything, that makes Bush's crimes worse--that he has cynically manipulated the well-intentioned sense of honor of hundreds of thousands of basically good human beings--many of whom have died as a result.
