In response to President Barack Obama’s announcement on Dec. 1 to deploy 30,000 additional troops to the occupation of Afghanistan, the organization March Forward!, comprising both veterans and active-duty members of the U.S. military, has called on all soldiers to refuse their orders to deploy.

Congress declares wars,not Bush,not Obama. It is the duty of Obama and the soldiers to preserve,protect,and defend the Constitution. Obama is a constitutional scholar and he is violating the separation of powers under the United States Constitution by claiming the unilateral "right" to declare wars. The Executive branc...h :"Executes the instructions of Congress when it declares war or makes rules for the military." Like Bush,he is abusing power. That makes any wars they declared illegal. This is another reason why that war-is-peace speech is dangerous.
