All uses of pre-emptive force since 1945 are illegal according to U.N. Charter. Since the U.N. Charter was approved by the Senate and signed by the President it is the supreme law of the land.

Are the numerous cogs which form the mighty military juggernaut conditioned into such a state of obedience that no individual ever feels confident in questioning his or her actions in a military conflict?

Surely otherwise intelligent air force officers should be damn well aware what the consequences of carrying out unproved air strikes on Iran would be. Can a military hierarchal command structure, free will and morality even pretend to co-exist anymore?
