The argument is strongly put that generals should not go along with an administration invasion of Iran, since the effect of an invasion is to destroy many lives and much property, without sufficient cause.

But generals are not the only ones who have consciences. Individual GI's who are required to invade Iran (or Iraq, for that matter) are called upon to kill other human beings, without any real justification.

Making the claim that "generals should resign" is fine, but elitist, since the real dirty work will be done by foot soldiers and pilots who don't have the option to resign.
